Several of the features have also been questionably named: surely the Antarctic Ocean and the Green Sea? Older versions, still visible under the mobile-phone links, show even more questionable names: notably the United Ocean. (Although I almost prefer that to the bland North American Ocean: and Brazilian Ocean wins over the continental name hands down. Then again, I probably wouldn't think so if I were Canadian or Chilean.)
The national boundaries are also quite impossible, topologically speaking: count the borders trailing off to the left, then to the right. The Arctic borders are merely quite unlikely: they depict three borders meeting exactly at the Pole, which is at least vaguely plausible by treaty if the area is reasonably uninhabited.
(Of course, according to the compass rose near the Australian Sea, the names of the Atlantic and Pacific Kingdoms and the American Oceans are all mislabeled: North should be everywhere South, and conversely.)
It still looks interesting enough to explore.
