Australia inexplicably being upside down and Greenland still being separate are the worst parts of this IMO
The shape of Greenland is not easy to determine...
(found on Reddit as usual)
Although what's especially odd about this wall decoration is that Australia, Borneo, Celebes and New Guinea are reasonably accurate but for the rest of the world it seems to have been a game of "wobble the coast"
I knew of the antipopes, but today I learned there was an exclave of the papal states around Avignon. Almost excuses the modern borders.
It covered quite a bit more than just the town of Avignon: Comtat Venaissin
Though of course Avignon was in the enclave, not just outside it!
Also amusing that while the mapmakers realised that the eastern border of France has changed over the centuries, they forgot/didn't know/didn't care that in the 13th century, Gascony was English, Navarre was independent and Rousillon was part of Aragon, so even their blue blob isn't right...

Now this is a Hoi4 mod waiting to happen...Don't think it was made as educational but I don't know where else to put this one
Or an extremely daft "What If Europe and Asia swap places in ..." thread?
Definitely not meant to be educational considering it's in a Superman comic (Superman: Red & Blue #5, specifically the "Generations" story if anyone is interested) but holy hell that Earth
I was reminded of the same thing and I've never even seen that movie
It can go to Map Shitposting Thread though with the labels.
I recon that lately there has not been enough screaming and eye-gouging in this thread. Time to rectify this:
This time with the source link (where the map is even bigger)
