You can look at the world from a lot of different perspectives, and maps are excellent tools that reflect this diversity of viewpoints.
Each cartographer chooses the story they want to tell, highlighting elements of geography, history, economy, and other areas to paint their own version of our planet.
Maybe it details countries and their borders, maybe it shows the spread of religions, or maybe it reveals the most popular soda drink in every region.
The social media project 'Terrible Maps' shares a whimsical and sometimes absurd approach to mapmaking, and it's full of funny takes you don't normally see in geography textbooks. Continue scrolling to see our hand-picked favorites!

Being A Bad Neighbour
The reason why the border is shaped that way is the path of a river. That’s exactly the same reason why the power plant was built in this place (cooling water needed). And this nuclear power plant produces electricity for Belgium (and Luxembourg, and Germany). I guess you’d have to be an ignorant idiot to call that being a crappy neighbour.

US States But The First Letter Is Missing
For the fun of it I was seeing if I can name all and got stuck at Ncest. Couldn’t figure it out for the life of me. (Cause I’m not from the US, the states aren’t general knowledge). Had to check a map and then couldn’t stop laughing about it when I saw that’s Alabama.
Load More Replies...Took me a sec to find Labama, then another sec for the lightbulb to come on.
It's funny to me that everyone thinks Alabama is the incest state. Where I'm from we all know it's West Virginia. ;) Some serious hillbilly sh!t going on in that state.
My dad used to call it “Massive Two Sh1t$” lol
