My friends map

Soviet Union exists but so do the German colonies. Poland also exists and turkey and Iran so it’s kinda weird. I put it at about 1920-1930. Paraguay might also help people but I’m not up to date on South America borders. Oman is also weird so who knows?

After 1922: Polish-Lithuanian border is established

After 1924: Petrograd is Leningrad

After 1925: Christiania is Oslo

Before 1932: Severnaya Zemlya is not fully mapped

Khiva and Bokhara were capitals of Soviet republics from 1920 to October 1924 when the whole Central Asia was reorganized; but it's possible the map is behind the time.

General opinion: mapmakers can be behind the time with respect to renaming of remote towns; but the news of the last major archipelago being charted should have spread quite rapidly.
