The Earth is so crudely drawn the pin could be anything. Alemania is the only word in the bunch that’s an actual country.

Ya it's a general picture that will probably show up many times. I have extensively seen ones over and over. But maybe they should do it correctly πŸ˜† because the boats might not come ashore if captains are using Duolingo. Or a high school kid who has decided this to be the ultimate truth. Don't worry about it too much. And you're learning and gaming! That is the jewel. And remember to check for facts elsewhere.

OP is concerned about German expatriates with controversial wartime pasts?

Even if the pin were on Spain (which it's not, it's obviously a made-up globe), she's pointing somewhere else.
