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

The map looks correct at first glance, but he's added another 14 states by drawing the borders wrong XD
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.
Working from the bottom left... California, Arizona, New Mexico.... Wtf?
California, Arizona, New Mexico, Old Mexico, Texas …
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!
Ah yes the great states of Arkansas and Arkan'tsas, of Kansas and Kan'tsas.
I’ve got: Neo Hampshire, Middle Carolina, Outdianna, Tennetucky, Rkansas, Northwest Dakota, West South Dakota, Souther Dakota, The Real South Dakota, Coloradon’t, Becausoming, Ariz Oh No!, Udaho & Trail
Ah yes, Washington, Oregon, Orecan't, and California!
I don't know if that's West Ohio or East Indiana, but either way, it is a crime against nature
We're always as war with East ~~Asia~~ Indiana.
I like Central Carolina and Kennesaw.
Texas, California, Colorado, Wyoming, Colorado again-... wait a minute
Finally Center Dakotans have their own state! Justice after all!
North and South Dakota now have a Middle Dakota buffer zone.
Canadian here, from the outside it seems to just be 3 states. Almost crazy, crazy and don't come here if you want to exist.
East Maine is so much better than West Maine.
Is that west maine? I thought it was old hampshire
My favorite is asking people what the 51st state is, Hawaii or Alaska?
How many states are in New Mexico?
Most forget to put both New and Old Hampshire
Old Hampshire is surprisingly close to the original Zealand.
I'm just tickled that this map shows MN's northwest angle as the (pseudo)exclave that it is.
The United States of America
United Stateses
NW, NE, SW, & SE Colorado
Unless you're including all the minor islands and territories, the U.S. only has 50 states to speak of. I know I could identify my state, Texas, Hawaii, California and a couple others. If there are people who can name up to 50 states and where they are on a map, that's pretty damn impressive!
Look a little closer at the map.
I'm pretty sure you'll be able to do it. I have faith.
I did finally. My bad for not spotting the anomalies right off. See, your wonderful christian attitude was so helpful.
Why are you giving Christianity a monopoly on faith?
I think in this country, Christianity does have a monopoly on faith. And monopoly is a good word to use, because religion is really just big business and those who make the most money hold all the cards.
i got all the way to kentucky before i spotted the issue
Tennessee and Elevenessee
Ninessee pronounced Nanci
LoL, New Mexico A & B
LoL, New Mexico A & B
The chef is intact but is holding 2 plates now.
A couple of my friends had a go at this one:
Some notable quotes:
"Wrong. It goes washingyon, oregon, gravity falls, hotel california"
"pennywise AND ohio, rough spot for maine"
"New Hampsire is not a state. I haven’t heard shit from someone in New Hampshire"
