it is not completely useless as it seems to give an accurate portrayal of geopolitical boundaries at the time.

I'm so happy that they put the 1507 borders on. Someone spent some real effort and thought on this completely pointless thing.

I'm guessing they just found a map from the time period and added the electricity bit as the meme. Very little effort involved.

I'm pretty sure the Crown of Aragon wasn't part of France in 1507 so I wouldn't trust the rest the map either.
