According to
critical cartography, maps can be designed to deceive and manipulate OR portray the world from a political, social, and/or economic point of view. This specific propaganda map is used to communicate power relations between the U.S. and Russia during the Cold War along with other points. Japan is drawn as a car referencing their ability to "monopolize" the automobile industry (Toyotas are #1 selling brand of car for example). "America" is also portrayed by political affiliations rather than state borders. This map is also an example of the
cartographic paradox.
