Was gonna make a Brexit joke, but then I realized the UK is also still in Europe.

Russian Lithuania
Ah right, I said the wrong thing.Latvia actually.
Not to forget the nation of the Black Sea.
*sad Serb noises*Oh, and Bosnia finally can into long coastline!
Looks like Nazi Germany is still extant....Once again, not for education. It’s a ball-ish pillow with a map date that I can’t quite put my finger on… Looks all the world like “just after Czechoslovakian collapse” except for the independent Ukraine.
It looks like pre-WW2, but after Germany's annexation of Czechia and Austria. So late 1930s? Because you have French West Africa and Anglo-Egyptian Sudan in there.. Also "Trans-Jordan" and "Leningrad."Once again, not for education.

Independent Ukraine is the thing that doesn't fit the late 30s time period?
My bigger question is who is making pillow balls maps of the late 1930s?Once again, not for education. It’s a ball-ish pillow with a map date that I can’t quite put my finger on… Looks all the world like “just after Czechoslovakian collapse” except for the independent Ukraine.
Good ol’ Dome Earth Theory.Maybe the map maker refused to accept that the briefly independent Ukraine after WWI had ceased to exist.
Anyways, have a display from the Pyongyang Science Museum:

I don't think Ukraine is independent on the map, despite the awkward color difference with the rest of the USSROnce again, not for education.

I don't think Ukraine is independent on the map, despite the awkward color difference with the rest of the USSR
- No capital marker
- The font for "Ukraine" is completely different than other nations
- No dash-dot line separating Ukraine with the USSR
Maybe, but I doubt it. This 1924 map also incorrectly shows various Soviet polities as separate, with Crimea as well.Was Ukraine perhaps added later on this map?
Inclusion of Crimea also points in that direction since Crimea was Russian until 1954.
Austrian Hungary and reunified Ireland?
