Can you explain this one a little bit? Why did the Japanese mess up the U.S. and Central America so much while everything else is pretty much intact? I think it looks like it might be some sort of WWII era propaganda though.

This is a very strange map. It is pre-WWI, as evidenced by the Ottoman and Austro-Hungarian empires most notably, and is for the most part highly accurate. However, North America is completely outrageous, and WTF is that island in the middle of the Pacific?

Edit: I guess I would suppose that it is a copy of a Western map which had been damaged/incompletely copied, and then the rest was filled in from memory, or some such. And maybe they found a little map of that island in the Pacific somewhere and decided it had to belong :p
