[The feed shows a pile of papers that, on closer examination, looks like someone was interrupted in the middle of grading homework. Particularly, the camera focuses on some maps of North America with states labelled, some more successfully than others. A deliberate shot, as Cissnei's voice over the feed betrays.]

I was hoping I might find something useful in all this homework - just because the kids here learned it as standard doesn't mean there might not be a clue that would help us, right? But the only thing I've really found are these maps and, well. They don't look familiar to me. That's where you guys come in.

I know some people are from worlds that are more similar to this one than mine. So I thought I'd see if these maps are familiar to anyone - and if they are, if there's anything about these that strikes them as unusual or not quite what they'd expect. It's a long shot, I know, but I'll feel better for knowing I haven't ignored something that might have been important.
