Honestly, I think this is a pretty damn good approximation of the US for someone who lives on the other side of the world. You gotta remember, their nearest neighbor, India has at least 3x the population of the United States, why would a Sri Lankan have any more precise map of the US in their head than this?
(I know Sri Lanka isn't part of India, I am just talking about context and what kinds of things would make sense for a Sri Lankan to know offhand)

Accurate
As a Canadian I would cut out part of Texas at the top for “Americans that think they are Canadian”
But it’s pretty accurate
Ok but you need to give us Alberta as Canadians that think they're American
As much as I hate Minnesotans for thinking they are us
I would gladly make that trade

Come on guys, Ohio is above Texas
Politically. Yeah that's about right
If you had to condense it for a videogame, this would cover most bases.
Los Santos, Liberty City, Vice City.

It certainly feels that way sometimes.
This is what those “state vs state battle royale” fantasy war simulators look like after a couple rounds
I don't get this though. Maps are free online. You don't even have to guess anymore.
Have you ever tried drawing a map from memory? It's interesting, what you do and don't remember and why. That's why this is funny - what's salient to the other person and what's not. No American would want Florida to be bigger, for instance.
Exactly. Maps are free. Joke maps are also free. So instead of paying money, and somebody taking that money and assuring you this is the right thing. You get a free map, that might be a joke, but you don't know it's a joke cuz you don't know the map. And we get some funnies
Where do they take maps from? 9gag? I mean, maps.google.com is free. It can't be any easier.
I mean 9gag stands for 9 Good American Guys right? What better place to get your accurate American maps from?
Google images most likely

Where is Gotham and Springfield
That not how it looks?
I love how jarring the border of what would normally be Nevada is compared to the rest of the borders on this map lmao. Also love how Michigan is split in half between NY and Texas
I know I don't live in Texas because we still have electricity running here. Florida checks out though!
A bit like a map on how Europe is perceived by Americans, where whole Germany is Bavaria.
As if Americans have any idea what Bavaria is. And if they could even name one city in Germany it certainly wouldn't be anything in the south, it'd be Hamburg, because hamburgers lol
I feel like Berlin would be more famous, with it being the capital and the Berlin wall.
