That's a weird globe. South America is the size of all the other continents combined, and it doesn't seem like there's anything left to be on the other half of the planet.

This kind of error isn't uncommon, but the most surprising thing is that it hasn't earned a tag like bad_geography or a pool yet.
Background text is from Hesiod's Theogony (Origin of the Gods), Lines 411–428. Those lines in particular cover the birth of Hecate as well as (a portion of) her nature and powers/domains.
And she conceived and bare Hecate whom Zeus the son of Cronos honoured above all. He gave her splendid gifts, to have a share of the earth and the unfruitful sea. She received honour also in starry heaven, and is honoured exceedingly by the deathless gods. For to this day, whenever any one of men on earth offers rich sacrifices and prays for favour according to custom, he calls upon Hecate. Great honour comes full easily to him whose prayers the goddess receives favourably, and she bestows wealth upon him; for the power surely is with her. For as many as were born of Earth and Ocean amongst all these she has her due portion. The son of Cronos did her no wrong nor took anything away of all that was her portion among the former Titan gods: but she holds, as the division was at the first from the beginning, privilege both in earth, and in heaven, and in sea. Also, because she is an only child, the goddess receives not less honour, but much more still, for Zeus honours her.
Tempted to put this under the Clever pool even though it's a copypasta, since it's a cut above the usual "copy random foreign language texts that have no bearing on the subject material" method used by most artists when they want to come up with Greek text.
Hokkaido being the size of Australia (and south of Indonesia, somehow) should be a big ol' hint that something's probably not quite right.
Oddly, there’s two Hokkaidos and a much larger Madagascar is in the Pacific Ocean.
