I recently came up with this map where I can choose local versions of Tom's Hardware.
http://www.tomshardware.com/index.html
This map created a lot of questions. Where are Latin American boundaries? Where is the border between North and South Korea? Why is the territory of Korea dimmed while there is no Korean version of THG available? Where are African countries? Why does Russian Federation include these independent states - Belarus, Ukraine, Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan and Tajikistan? Also There appears to be no border between Turkey and Russia. Sakhalin doesn't belong to Russia too on the map. Yemen is not the territory of Saudi Arabia.
When will Tom's Hardware change this incorrect map?

Well, given that it was not likely made for the purpose of studying political boundaries, I don't think it's going to be changed any time soon.

I wouldn't be surprised if there will arise new territorial disputes based on Tom's Hardware map. :D 
I haven't seen any map like this. Yeah, there are a lot of maps like this, but they are fictional and don't claim to be real ones likes Tom's map.

Compare for yourself and see how a real map is supposed to be.
