I’m pretty sure it’s impossible to keep everything arranged “correctly” geographically while keeping the proportions correct and having them be regular shapes. If anything it’s impressive that you can get it as close as this.
It’s not close, though, it’s entirely backwards. And there is plenty of low hanging fruit here to keep things roughly aligned that they didn’t take. South America, for instance, if you just mirror that shape everything would be roughly fine. But nope. Brazil is on the west coast now for no reason.
If it was just the “rest of” shapes being in weird places I’d think about it, but there are plenty of cases where you could fix the issues for free and they chose not to.
