The Western most point of the United States is also closer to Seoul than it is to the Eastern most point in. The United States. Some countries are vast. Weirdly it’s only a difference of about 600 kilometers to go from Seoul to the Easternmost point in the United States. (Guam and Semisopochnoi Islands.)

I don’t get the popularity of maps like this. It is entirely unremarkable that point X of country A could be closer to the capital of country B than some other point in country A. In fact it would be impossible for this NOT to be the case MOST of the time unless each country was an island of just the right remoteness.
