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

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?

Glad Orejon is included though.

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.
