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.
Yeah… must be fake
What, so New Zealand isn't real now?
It never was.
In North Korea, UK is NZ
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
No one told them about our New Found Land
Was found too recently
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
I ate it, sorry :3
The only map in the whole country showing there is stuff outside of NK
Idk why but the americas look really cool on that map
No! No south for you!
