Why people are mad at this Ikea map of the world
An Ikea framed map of the world appears to be missing something.
A picture of the Bjorksta map, which sells for $59 in Australian stores, was uploaded to Reddit where people were quick to point out a mistake.
It turns out, the map is missing New Zealand.
It comes as Ikea last month announced plans to open its first store in New Zealand in the city of Auckland.
“Wonder if they’re going to sell these maps in the new Auckland store,” one Reddit user wrote.
The Reddit user said they took a photo of the map in Washington DC, where the item sells for US$29 (AUD$41) .
“What’s the deal Ikea with forgetting an entire country off the world maps you are selling? New Zealand exists!” someone else posted on Twitter.
However, not everyone was angry about the Land of the Long White Cloud being left off the map.
“That’s why I love New Zealand – it’s out of this world,” one user tweeted.
Another added it’s not only New Zealand left off the map but a number of small island nations as well.
Ikea has been contacted for comment.
Last year, New Zealand’s Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern made a hilarious appeal for the country to appear on world maps.
Kiwis pictured a number of maps missing New Zealand.
Ahead of this year’s Australia Day celebrations, Australian Lamb launched its annual advertisement jokingly suggesting Australia merge with New Zealand into one country.
