This mental map is a portrait of how many people believe that President Ronald Reagan viewed the world. Some might get a laugh out of it and some might take offense to it, but this was Reagan's mental map. This map shows the views that the president had towards different regions of the world. It shows what President Reagan believed each part of the world was known for. Although some people might take offense to his beliefs the map does show a lot of truth to it. Problems with this map include all categories of correctness. The map is completely distorted and the projection is not even close to being acurate. The two major properties for a map, conformality and equivalence are completely distorted seeing that the true shape and true area are obviously not correct.
