If you know your history and your geography, Hawaiʻi is a sovereign island nation illegally annexed by the U.S. located in the middle of the Pacific ocean.

Some mistakes there:

– The province is called Tierra del Fuego (Ushuaia is the capital city).
– Buenos Aires and Córdoba have a common border.
– There’s a quadripoint between Mendoza, La Pampa, Neuquén and Río Negro. If you show La Pampa and Neuquén as having a common border, then there should be one between Rio Negro and Mendoza too.
– Chaco has a (short) border with Paraguay.

According to this map, Papua New Guinea is not an island, because it joins Indonesia, and Indonesia (on a different land mass) joins Malaysia. OK fine, but Gibraltar is joined to Spain, so by that logic the Ireland should be part of Europe’s main land mass because it joins the UK which joins Europe. And Guantanamo Bay joins Cuba, therefore Cuba should be part of the American land mass. And guess what… Australian Antartic Territory joins Russian Antarctic Territory, so why is Australia off on its own? This map is complete nonsense, the entire basis of it needs rethinking.

Did you use any software to generate the topological maps of the countries ? I would like to try something similar on city maps.
