Pretty sure that’s the sparsely populated West Island of New Zealand.

It’s right there written on the map; Wantqldsansw.

Do you guys know how to read maps?

You have no idea how to read a map. It's obviously Wantqldsanswvic.

Looks like you've got your map upside-down. That's the United States, upside-down. I don't know what happened to Canada and Mexico.
