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

      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.

      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?

      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.
