Geography According to Saudi Arabian Airlines

I recently stumbled across the Saudi Arabian Airlines route map (as one does). It makes great reading for geography buffs.



Asia:

• China finally gets a grip on Taiwan
• a huge lake seems to have formed in southern China
• Osaka has had enough of Honshu and moved to a smaller island

North America:

• apparently Saudi Arabian Airlines serves Frankfort, Kentucky. In fact, that's supposed to be Frankfurt, Germany. Oops. Oh and Kentucky seems to have drifted several hundred miles west
• New York and Washington have also moved further inland, possibly to avoid Cloverfield

Africa:

• Nigeria has claimed a large chunk of the Sahara and moved Kano to the middle of it
• Casablanca has acquired another 's'

Europe:

• Ireland has merged with Britain - not good news for the ferry companies and Ryanair!
• Manchester has upped sticks and headed for the Scottish border
• the Channel Tunnel has brought London and Paris closer together, but Saudi Arabian Airlines have brought them even closer
• Brussels is heading for Germany
• Nice has had enough of the Côte d'Azur and moved inland
• Milan has joined Switzerland (never trust a neutral country!) while Prague has moved to Poland
• a new city called "Vieanna" has been formed, possibly by disgruntled Vienna residents
• Istanbul, after centuries of proximity to the Black Sea and Sea of Marmara, has suddenly found itself landlocked

Let's just hope the pilots' navigation charts are more accurate!
