most of the errors are around poland though, other than that it's just poor color choices for some countries e.g. Scandinavian countries, Greece and Bulgaria

And the fact that Yugoslavia has Istria about thirty years too early.
Also, those were not Greek borders in 1919; those are the post Greco-Turkish war borders.
And that Romania doesn't have Moldova, and, for some reason, Morocco seems to be (a) united, and (b) independent.
My favorite part is independent East Prussia. And nearly flat West Prussia. And Greco-Bulgaria.
Apart from the bad borders, I think it's part of mapmaking 101 that you don't use the same color for two different countries that border each other.
Certainly because it has been mathematicaly proven that any map can be made with 4 colors.
*PLANAR* maps, and that assumes no Exclaves/Enclaves. (The Enclaves/Exclaves of OTL aren't sufficient, but it is quite easy to create a such a map)
Seen in a class on Africa. Remember the Portuguese colony of Liberia? Or what about the Hitlerite stronghold of Namibia?
But from what I can tell there was no actual fighting there. This map seems to imply that Namibia was never taken by the British and it was heavily supportive of the Nazi Party under German rule.
I'm gonna start using these maps for inspiration for alt history, like seriously, look at that independent east Prussia
that's pretty much my opinion on these--laughably bad, but they can make for some pretty cool AH scenarios
Given that we recently had quite some Africa and South America maps here I guess I can put this one here as well.
A background map in an anime that features an already bad map (even with the blur one can already see stuff being quite wrong, like a Mercator projection combined with tuberculosis) which has the additional peculiar notion that the southern part of Africa is shaped like Patagonia.

Lol at Sweden and India too, and where is Britain? East Asia is perfectly drawn though, to a T.
Something similar to this happened in Invasion of the Neptune Men.
That Sinai looks awesome. Also, Mauritania was never colonized according to the map, along with Algeria and Gabon, and quite a few others. Plus, the Nile looks to be a few hundred miles wide.Seen in a class on Africa. Remember the Portuguese colony of Liberia? Or what about the Hitlerite stronghold of Namibia?
