Summary

The factual accuracy of this map or the file name is disputed. Reason: In Morocco, distinct regions like Souss-Massa-Draa and Guelmim es-Semara appear joined for some reason. Mali lacks the correct division of the Northern territories. Most first level administrative region in Japan had been joined together. Missing Tianjin and Chongqing in China. Macau in China placed in wrong position. Hong Kong Island, Hong Kong, China placed in wrong direction. No administrative divisions defined in Armenia and Azerbaijan, Baltics, and some Balkan countries. Further exploration for mistakes is required.
