Alt text: Even with a blank map, a lot of people can only name 45-50 of the 64 states.

I was expecting this one to be interactive but then I noticed the alt text. I'm not a geography nerd who's going to explain this one
The map looks correct at first glance, but he's added another 14 states by drawing the borders wrong XD
Not American, but I assume it's wrong in some subtle and hilarious way?
There are a bunch of extra states added. Think Colorado and Wyoming, the two rectangular states just east of the west coast. Now there are 4 rectangular states. Another example: just east of New York and west of Maine are Vermont and New Hampshire. Now there are 3 states instead of 2. It's like that throughout.
I just moved out of Kentucky and was like wait, there's two Tennessee?
Tennessee and Elevennessee
spoiler
Yeah, he's got Minnesota in there but totally left out Megasota
Two Tennessees, but no nineessee
Texoklahoma is up by Midsouthdakota?
North-West Virginia isn't even a thing no matter what those weirdos say
The weird strip of land in the Great Lake
Removed Whodaho and added "Idaho"? WTF is Idaho?
It's got the state we all agreed doesn't exist?
Permanently Deleted
And where is Mickeysota?
Megasota? My sides... had to stifle a laugh so I didn't wake up my sick daughter
Bunch of extra states with similar shapes to existing states, so it messes with your eye and kinda blends in.
Might be harder to do with a map of Africa, Asia, Europe or south America because there aren't as many straight line borders and things are a bit more curvy.
Working from the bottom left... California, Arizona, New Mexico.... Wtf?
California, Arizona, New Mexico, Old Mexico, Texas …
