The map is a disaster[edit]

This is probably a thing most will not care, but the map just has so many mistakes.

Countries that were visited, but not even colored: Slovakia, Dominican Republic, Singapore (yes, you can see it), Bahrain (also yes)

Alaska Panhandle, Aleutian Islands, Delmarva Peninsula is not colored as American, Vancouver Island is not colored as Canadian (as are many Canadian holdings around Nova Scotia), Marajo is not colored as Brasilian, many smaller Chilean islands are not colored, Cabinda is not colored as Angolan, Musandam is not colored as Omani, Israel doesn't own its northern half (it's not the Golan Heights, but the part actually partitioned to Israel in 1948 and even then Pompeo did visit Golan Heights), various Aegean Islands, most notably Rhodes aren't colored as Greek, egregiously European Turkey (the part with Istanbul) is not colored as Turkish, Sardinia is not colored as Italian, Mallorca from the Balearic is colored as Spanish, but the others like Minorca and Ibiza aren't (guess the creator got lazy?), Istria is not colored as Croatian, Kaliningrad Oblast is not colored as Russian, various British Islands in the vicinity of the Island of GB itself are also not colored, Tulcea is not colored as Romanian, Wakhan Corridor is not colored as Afghan, various Arctic islands are not colored as Russian (but Novaya Zemlya is), Lake Baikal is just straight up red instead of empty like other lakes, Uzbekistan's holdings in Fergana Valley are not colored, the entirety of North Eastern India is not colored, as well as Andaman Islands, numerous Indonesian Islands not colored, Peninsular Malaysia is not colored (the part that has the capital), Hainan Island and Leizhou Peninsula are not colored as Chinese, Jeju is not colored as Korean, Okinawa and surrdouning islands are not colored as Japanese.

Crimea is not colored, I can somewhat understand that given the outright annexation by Russia (personally feel it should be drawn as Ukrainian), but Kuril Islands? It should be drawn as Russian imo. If this place is not going to be drawn because of international disputes, wth is Kashmir doing being drawn as administered by India and Pakistan respectively instead of empty?

This doesn't even count overseas departments of France which are treated the same as mainland France like French Guiana, Réunion etc, Spanish Canary Islands or overseas territories like Falklands.

Why couldn't they just make the map like List of international presidential trips made by Donald Trump or List of international presidential trips made by Barack Obama.
