France, Switzerland, Estonia, Algeria, Turkey, Morocco, Italy, Moldova, Ukraine, Portugal, and Croatia are largely okay (minor screwing). The others are heavily screwed.

I don’t know if I’d call Moldova and Ukraine minorly screwed since Moldva got the whole southern half of Odessa
That's the Budjak. Screwed Ukraine? Yeah, but not that much (it has a lot of Bulgarians, Moldovans and Romanians). Odessa itself isn't Moldovan.

Just because there was once Czechoslovakia Doesnt mean you can switch their places and annex Polish territory.
OK, what are geologic/physical changes of the map? (as opposed to political)
Iceland is flipped. Gotland is the wrong shape. Cordilly is added (in the med to the east of sicily). The Canary Islands have been moved next to spain. Svalbard has been moved south, and I think Malta is missing. Oh, and the Gray sea west of Moscow. And the Hebrides have moved.

Also on that map Lego land is not a capital and that Spain and Portugal traded capital names is kind of surprising
Without the labelling, I *think* it is a correct flipped pacific centered map. The only thing that looks off is the side of Australia toward Africa.
I agree, a simple flipped map, but whoever did the labels was deranged...
If you just flip it, the geometry of the labels as printed makes no sense at all.
Even if you move the North and South America labels to the east of the now-flipped map, there's no way to have the NA label correct with it that far to the east of the SA label - the only way for the geometry of those two to 'make sense' is if the labels were added to the reversed map.
With the other four, if you leave the arrangement of the four labels as it is, you can either have Europe and Oceania sort-of-right OR Africa and Asia sort-of-right - it's impossible to get both.
I feel that a map both giving Legoland as the capital of Denmark and not even showing the correct location of said theme park makes it count as an educational map.
Has Ascension as Assuncion,the Dead Sea replacing the Red Sea and no South Sudan.From 2018,when the Romanian government decided that the state publisher would be in charge of all textbooks.
