The map depicts both North and South Korea. The only thing ‘off’ is that both parts are colored as Korea. But that’s only strange until you remember that both parts claim to be the sole governor of the whole peninsula. Just like both the GDR and FRG claimed to be governors of all of Germany.

Yeah I was like, "it's a map of the world with the Korean peninsula highlighted, what's the problem?'

NGL, I thought they were talking about Antarctica, but that makes more sense

Is this a real Map? I ask because it has New Zealand on it.

[–] MadMadBunny@lemmy.ca 16 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah… must be fake

[–] Bratosch@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

What, so New Zealand isn't real now?

[–] slazer2au@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

It never was.

[–] ParadoxSeahorse@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

That map projection is finely aged rubbish with an exquisitely greasy texture.

Wow this is so much worse. Its disorienting.

So many of the angles seem wrong. Africa. The Americas. Is it a Mercator map defect type thing going on, or just shitty North Korean map.

I like how they made Cuba twice the size of Florida.

Why does NA look like a gourd

[–] Trex202@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

No one told them about our New Found Land

Look at the size the Philippines and Kalimantan!

RIP Timor.

this isn't actually such a bad map. if you ever tried to custom cut a world map or satellite image without cutting thru too much land and then stretch it to rectangular shape, you know the struggle

[–] Una@europe.pub 4 points 2 weeks ago

I ate it, sorry :3

[–] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

The only map in the whole country showing there is stuff outside of NK

[–] BuboScandiacus@mander.xyz 2 points 2 weeks ago

[–] don@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 weeks ago
