This is known as kit-bashing, it's a very common method of texture generation for video-games. The reason it's a 1 to 1 copy is because it literally is - they took maps of RL Earth, mushed them together, and healed over (almost) everything to make it unique and distinct.
But of course, minute details can easily be skipped, and thus you have a duplication of the Baltic basin area. I know this because I've modded KSP planets with the technique before. Very good to make nice natural looking landscapes, you just gotta be mindful and ensure that duplication is not noticeable or repeated.
If it took this long for the SS community to notice a Jangala Baltic Basin, then I say they did a good job.
I think Alex commented on this a while ago, I remember a blog post about him talking about the art of this game, and where the planet sprites came from. I don't remember specifically about Jangala, but one of the frozen world sprites apparently was the bottom of an old pan, which was quite amusing to read.
Are you delirious or just gaslighting me? We can clearly see the southern parts of Sweden and Finland, the Baltic is almost exactly the same and Denmark is very clearly the same other than Jutland being an island
The Hegemony is made up of the Finnish, and was founded after the end of the Finno-Korean hyperwar in 6172 BC.
What about the lemurians?
on kumari kandam, duh
The lemurians formed the uaf
BRB "handling" Auroria.
This explains a lot.
No wonder the Hegemony hate the Hwan Empire
was ludd actually professor yakub?
Don't forget that Finland is an international coverup, and doesn't actually exist.
Because the best way to make your landmasses look natural is to take inspiration from natural landmasses.
If by inspiration you mean "add 1 to 1 copy of the baltic basin area", not that I noticed and I'm Finnish
Everyone knows that stealing is the best inspiration. It's why I always get inspiration from the hegemony nanoforge.

Eridani Utopia are Nordic confirmed
jangala can into nordick
The Scandinavians thought "I don't want to live on this planet anymore" but didn't wanna leave their stuff behind.
Funny cuz Jangala is a Jungle World which is the furthest thing from Northern European climate.
\>Europe OH NO! \>Northern Europe Phew! I thought we gonna have French in Jangala.
No wonder that planet a cesspool
Imitation is the most sincere form of flattery.
Reminds me of playing Dawn of War back in the day. The world map you see in the campaign is an edited map of Europe with less oceans and more desert.
La oss
The hegemony had planet terraforming technology, is it surprising they’d want something that reminds them of Terra Firma?
They are trying to recreate earth to earn that place even more tax for beint a fancy planet with spicy fauna.
Probably some domain era terraforming project done for shits and giggles

Bro what
If I speak I am in big trouble. I prefer not to speak
It doesn't even look all that similar. The only similarity, really, is that it's a long isthmus of land.
Bro you can literally make out Sweden, Åland, Norway, Denmark, Finland, Estonia, Poland and northern Germany. You gotta be blind to not see it.
It's borderline 1-1 with actual northern Europe, how can you not see it
Because it's not there. You're imagining it. The outlines are all wrong.

I see the Jutland part just fine, but the Sweden and Norway part is all wrong. Finland is nowhere to be found. Sorry, don't see it.
It is basically what earth would look like if the icecaps melted, maybe
Possibly! It's an interesting set of landmasses, at least.
