To be fair, I'm an American from Texas that ran into a girl working a register at Walmart with a distinctly Southern Slavic accent. When I asked where she was from, she said "Europe." Yes, but which part? "You've probably never heard of it. Kosovo." "Ah, Kuminovo? Pristina?" She stared at me like I was the CIA come to take her away. Had several ladies from Kuminovo that worked with me when I was an overseas expat and had actually driven through Kosovo on a road trip just two years earlier...

Now for Asia: - Corsica and Italy's islands are in Asia apparantly. - The Suez is shown in Asia instead of Africa. (might be intentional) - and some islands are too big. and that's it!

That first map is made on MapChart, I use it a lot. That map is the simplified world map, the detailed version shows all of the countries in the world, though still as circles. The version that shows all the provinces in the world replaces the circles with the actual countries though. Wait why did I bother writing this again?

The last map also conflates left/right hand drive with drive on the left/right. Those are two different things and are almost always opposite each other. One is which side of the car the driver is on, the other is which side of the road you drive on. The Bahamas is an interesting case as it’s drive on the left but a lot of the cars are just imports from the USA so you see a lot of left hand drive cars also driving on the left

The travel agency window one, is actually more accurate then you're giving credit for considering it's not to scale. The labels are corresponding to the circles so LA is pretty accurate, Singapore is pretty dead on and Fiji is pretty much where it's supposed to be. Most people probably think Fiji is off the coast of South America when it's actually much closer to Australia.

I grew up in the former Eastern Germany and even twenty years after the German reunification we still had a lot of the old schoolbooks - including in geography. Some of those maps were purposefully filled with errors. Not only was the GDR so petty and just printed WD (Westdeutschland) onto the border areas instead of BRD (FRG) but they also misplaced roads, towns and so on so people could not use these schoolbook-maps after they fled across the border...

This video reminds me of a world map from an old geography book of mine, where the cities position got printed half centimeter on the right, leaving some capitals in the middle of the sea.

I believe the first one was made with a map maker, one that I've used in the past. There's tons of various levels of detail

Somehow, in the Loco Coconut one (or whatever it's called), Melbourne is on the Nullabor Plain, in Western Australia. The state capital of Victoria is now in another state entirely, playing havok both ecclesiastically and financially. Sydney, however, is apparently somewhere in Queensland (a similar arrangement of state capitals then), and now with (it seems) it has no water whatsoever (Murray-Darling Basin woes) and smells of dead fish, lots of dead fish. I love my sunburnt country, a land of sweeping plains, of horrors of cartography and and carp-occluded drains....

I love this series!

How maps like that last one get through, I will never know.

The first map has circles for islands because it’s not custom made. It was made using a website called Mapchart.

three fast fax: 1.

I love maps like the last one. In the first secon you think "what's wrong with that?" And then you go on discovering how wrong you've been for the next 5 to 10 min.

Bruh keep this going and you'll be the next of the Map Men

Geography geek here (studied it extensively in college, so yeah), but my giggle over the weed map was what the two colors on the map symbolized.

Melbourne in the middle of the Nullabour, Sydney where Longreach is, that's just insanity!

I remember in my sociology class where we watched video (can't remember what it is was) which showed a map of the world. It looked like it was a Pre-1938 map but it looked like China had the borders of the Puppet States Japan had set up. Keep in mind, the video was talking about the modern day. It was weird.

The sliding maps look like they're the result of all the countries being loaded into GIS or graphic design software as their own vectors, and the locations of some of those vectors being rendered incorrectly for whatever reason. This is why, when making maps using such software, you always check the final product before sending it out.

"This does put a smile on my face"

Thanks for the entertaining video!

4:56 nice to see France got its protection from the rest of Europe

the first map is from a site called mapchart, where you can color different countries to make graphs and such. they have two versions of the world: a simple one, which is the one you showed, and a detailed one, which has every nation and some important territories. they still kept the circles in the detailed one, though.

Keep up the good work!

This will make me look twice at modern maps. I never realized many got it so wrong and I just excepted them as correct.

Regarding that AoEII map, I heard they were to correct that one in Definitive Edition due to its infamy, but I haven't played it yet and googling didn't help me find any image to verify how the new one looks like. Might be worth checking out if they rectified the mistakes of the past. Maybe mention as a positive note in the next episode, if they did.

I saw a map of the dates the African nations became independent of their European colonisers, which was fine except for them listing South Africa as 1994. While segregation ended in 1994, it had been independent since 1934 or 1960 depending how you see it.

Don’t know if this comment will be seen, but there’s something I’d like to point out about the first map. If you go to the website, mapcharts, you can find a map of the world with most of the islands actually showing up. The map in the video was just one of the simple maps, and probably an early version of it compared to now

The sliding countries possibly comes from translation errors, different projections getting "stuck" perhaps? Or maybe someone just forgot to unlock Canada after doing a transform on all the land masses. It looks like it's clipped into the coastlines which too is...weird

At 4:09 there is another error: Zambia owns the Congo Panhandle, which is actually part of the DRC

Ah, the fabled city of Sydney, Queensland... A couple hundred K's inland. And who could forget the port city of Melbourne, Western Australia... Nowhere near water and bordering South Australia. Typing all that made my head hurt.

The first map is a paintable online map with three options, simple (the one in video i thjnk) microstates included, and detailed with countries being broken down into subdivision I think equivalent (or as close to) EU NUTS II level

Great video! but the first map is a website that lets you color in countries and make your own legend for the world map. Thats why the small countries are circles, so its easier to click them to color them.
