Except for the two thirds of the year where you pretend the entire country (apart from Hawai’i and parts of Arizona) is 1300 km (that’s 800 miles for those living in the 17th century) east of where it actually is.
I suppose it depends on your definition of “big”, but Chile and Argentina are both extremely recognisable in this map. And Greenland is obviously very easy to see, including Danmarkshavn time.
But I think the single country which is the most recognisable (even more than China, which is messed up a little by Mongolia being in the same time zone) might be India, as well as neighbouring Pakistan and Sri Lanka. Afghanistan and Iran are also nearly perfectly shown here, as is Myanmar.

Yeah, and there are totally US state borders on this map. Just like in Russia for example.
The only big recognizable country here is China.
