Not American, but I assume it’s wrong in some subtle and hilarious way?

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

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
It's got the state we all agreed doesn't exist?

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.

I see what you mean about this map being anomalous. Some of the states seem to be doubled, I wondered where they got that 64 states figure from!! My bad!

The map looks correct at first glance, but he’s added another 16 states by drawing the borders wrong XD
