I took the 1980 cursed map from before and added 11 or so differences. Some are obvious, some are not. Good luck!
1 - The Canadian Lakes are somehow connected
2 - The Arctic failed to load
3 - Iceland has a massive lake
4 - Venezuela is spilling over Brazil
5 - The East Atlantic islands are gone
6 - American Guayanas
7 - Jutland is now an island
8 - Iran got demolished
9 - That's a fat Ethiopia
10 - The DRC lost its access to the sea and got so tilted they multiplied their border into Zambia
11 - RIP South Africa
12 - India screw
13 - Mongolia is completely gone
14 - Yamal Peninsula is now an island
15 - Crimea got cloned and spawned right next to Magadan
16 - Is that a Soviet Hokkaido?
17 - Something's off in the British Isles
18 - Yemen is a weird sort of confederacy, and Saudi Arabia has a circle inside
19 - The West Coast of the US looks weird
20 Is it me or New Jersey ate NYC?

  1. Yes.
  2. Yes.
  3. Yes.
  4. Yes, and I made it low-quality.
  5. Yes.
  6. That's from the previous version.
  7. Yes.
  8. 6.
  9. 6.
  10. From the original, but long Katanga is new.
  11. 6.
  12. 6.
  13. Yes.
  14. 6.
  15. Yes.
  16. 6.
  17. Original. Britain owns Donegal.
  18. That Yemen is basemap, and the circle is the ROC claiming a desert for no reason.
  19. Sea level rose there. Original.
  20. 6.
Additionally, Tanzania is slightly taller at Mozambique's expense, and Rwanda is a pixel taller against Uganda. Oh, and reverse Guantanamo in Texas. Oh again, and Bir Tawil is unclaimed land to the Red Sea.

There's a onehellofabird map (a variant of 1984), where the Bad Guys are "The Island", that is, a weird merger of Japan and England. However, Madagascar and New Zealand have a comparably similar geography.
Imagine a state built from a merger of English, Maori, Japanese, and Malagasy thalassocracies...
 
I just had a shitpost idea, but based on a map

The World, but it has the form of a bear

Ignoring actual proportions of the land masses, and supposing the latitudes are the same as OTL - what would be the climate of this bear-world? (I am not good in all these issue)

Also missing Antarctica, thigh I suppose that doesn’t have much to do with Polar Bears anyways.
 
I thought New Scotland was in Oceania... Oh, that’s New Ireland. Should’ve added that one.
Makes more sense than Northern Ireland somehow being classified as a part of England, as this color scheme suggests. And, alas, no Jersey switcherooh. I suppose there was only so much space in the English Channel. Plus then they would get into what to do with York... Ick, I wonder what would happen to the Great Lakes with New York gone.
