The latest iteration places entire countries on floating islands resting on white clouds, enhancing the aesthetic appeal of the visuals.

In several versions, landmarks are arranged more freely across the island to prioritise visual impact over geographical accuracy.
As the trend gathered momentum, users began sharing digital posters of countries such as Türkiye, Colombia, India and China. India’s floating island poster, for instance, features elements including India Gate, the Ram Mandir, the Himalayas, expansive greenery, agricultural fields and flowing rivers, all rendered in a stylised yet highly detailed format.
