Okay let's try to decipher this

Africa and South America are swapped and mirrored
Greenland and Australia are swapped
Iceland and Madagascar are swapped
Southeast Asia is where Central America belongs
Italy is where Florida belongs
Korea is where Italy belongs
Central America is in place of the Arabian peninsula
The arabian peninsula is in place of SE asia
Florida is hanging out where Korea should be
Japan and New Zealand are swapped
England and the Philippines are swapped
I think that's Indonesia floating where Scandinavia should be
Scandinavia has relocated to just above the Hudson bay
Alaska and Eastern Russia have switched places

I feel like there's probably more I'm missing but my brain just doesn't want to process this mess

Indonesia/Malaysia/Thailand are now in Central America. It’s Baffin Island that has swapped places with Scandinavia.

Also:

The Great Lakes have swapped with the Caspian Sea
Papua New Guinea and neighbouring islands are now north of New Baffin Island
I can’t figure out what that is in the former location of Papua New Guinea/Indonesia
Cuba/Hispaniola and the other Caribbean islands seem to be missing

The British isles and Ireland are among them. The islands to the right could be Svalbard.

I'm somewhat concerned about the BeNeLux countries and Northwestern France.

~~Papua~~ New Guinea and neighbouring islands are now north of New Baffin Island

That's where Svalbard should be.

Show this to the average American and they won't know the difference.

Looks pretty good to me, however, I'm not much of a Geometrist.

Nah, Madagascar is there. It's right next to Greenland. I mean Australia.
