If you look closely, you will be able to see the remains of the white-out someone tried to smear over “German Democratic Republic” and “Yugoslavia.”

There are about 15 or so completely uninhabited islands that are on that list- Bouvet Island, Ashmore and Cartier Islands, Canton and Enderbury Islands- and Johnson Atoll, a former nuclear weapons testing ground. And of course, who isn’t from the Iraq-Saudi Arabian Neutral Zone.

I always figured that some smart ass SFS work study kid- fresh off of his map class- decided to place his own private joke forever in the bowels of the university’s records system.
