Are you sure it’s meant to be funny? The entire features some strange errors, like Sweden/Finnland being glued to mainland Europe?

Europe got a really bad wrap in this picture. My guess is that it's the result of a bad automatic vectorization of a raster picture.

But I think that a missing NZ would stick out like a sore thumb to New Zealanders. Just like the Fennoscandian errors you mentioned sticks out to a Fennoscandian like me. It's intentional; no doubt.
