Also New Mexico, Old Mexico, Middle-aged Mexico, Adolescent Mexico, and Teenage Mexico.

Fun fact about Virginia/West Virginia: Virginia actually extends further west than West Virginia does. It really should be named Northwest Virginia.

Also, New Zealand. New Zealund always gets left off of maps. Poor New Zeeland gets no love.

“New Zealand” is a meme island made up by international criminal gangs.

They make fraudulent passports for this fake island, then gaslight authorities into letting them off the hook by insisting it’s a real place somewhere near Australia, even though it doesn’t appear on real globes or maps.

They made up New Zealand to finally create a good spinoff of Taskmaster, since no one else seemed capable.

This has gone so far, that there are now maps that include it, either because they are made by said gangs or because the authors have been successfully tricked and didn't bother to double check

This is part of the citizenship test. You have to identify which states are real.

While it is true that Virginia is a Commonwealth, it does not diminish the fact that it is a state.

Even though it was officially so declared in 1776, the status as a Commonwealth has no impact legally on the status of Virginia, and is impactful only in name & symbol.

Is that the Louisiana Purchase in there? There’s a lot of fun details in this map

Pfft. Maybe the first state in the CSA. Delaware was the first to ratify the constitution and officially become a state.
