People pointed out a glaring mistake on Ikea's world map: 'Hopefully Ikea won’t be using their own map'

A framed map of the world sold at Ikea appears to be missing something.

A picture of the Bjorksta map was uploaded to Reddit, where people were quick to point out the mistake. The Reddit user reportedly took a photo of the map in Washington, D.C., where it sells for $29.

It turns out that the map is missing New Zealand.

Just last month Ikea 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.

But Kiwis — otherwise known as people from New Zealand — were more upset, with one calling for the country to boycott the Auckland store.

Not everyone was upset about the Land of the Long White Cloud being left off the map, however.

“That’s why I love New Zealand — it’s out of this world,” one user tweeted.

Another pointed out that a number of small island nations were also left off the map.

Last year, New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern made a funny appeal for the country to appear on world maps, and Kiwis pictured a number of maps that lacked New Zealand.

Ikea has been contacted for comment.
