  In Japan world maps always have Japan in the middle. It's even more
ironic than the map in that comic. "The west", which includes America
and Europe, is on the east on the map, and "the east", which includes
Asia, is on the west on the map. Yes, they are known as "the western
countries" and "the eastern countries" there in the same way as here,
even though in their maps it's the opposite.
