Hm, Russian Königsberg, Galicia and Karafuto, the Ottoman-Qing Empire and Austro-Hungarian Balkan supremacy.

Not trying to stray into the wrong topic for this forum but I am pretty sure the world is well aware that Russia can not in2 borders very well (I say this as a Russian lmao)
Sri Lanka has merged with the Iranian coast, Borneo became super big, and the Malay peninsula became super long.
In general everything at the equator seems to be completely oversized; pushing the likes of Australia and China much closer to the poles.
Vietnam claiming Hainan is interesting. Not sure what the justification (for the mapmaker, since the government doesn’t) would be.
And it seems like the gulf of Thailand or whatever it is called is improper dimensions as well.
Vietnamese Hải Nam would be an interesting WI, though I still think it's going to be overwhelmingly Min Chinese (Hainanese), with Hlai, Miao and Zhuang minorities, and too close to the Chinese mainland.
oh, that is gorgeous!slight flubbing be damned, i'd totally buy that for my niece if it was in English
Good news: It seems that similar puzzles (and in English) can be bought at Lidl:
Just ignore the labeling on the African bit at the bottom of the map. Oh, and don't try to find Kaliningrad.

In regards to Turnhout, Google Maps shows it going all the way to the Netherlands border. Note, at this size, that's only a difference of 5 miles maximum. Some of this may simply be making the boundaries a little *less* complicated, though it does look like France has both Givet, France and Beauraing, Belgium given the shape of that indent.a map of Belgium ?

Which are apparently owned by Korea and somebody purple, possibly Canada
Never mind that, we also have Shicago, Wimington, HAWAIIN ISLAND, Western Samon, Tokayo and VIETNA. Plus independent Hokkaido, Hainan ruled by either TAWAN or Thailand, Laos and Cambodia have apparently sunk beneath the sea and of course the dread NICOBRA. I'll stop now.S.M. Stirling called, he wants his South America back
Also, BERPUDA
Ah, Franch. What a beautiful nation. I also recommend visiting Sudan, in the Levant. Malbore, Austalla has decent food. But steer clear of East and West Kamchatka. Their low level war has been raging for centuries.
