Propaganda Maps can be used for a number of different ends. They usually skew reality in order to suit one person or groups purposes. In this instance the map is being used to satire Ronald Reagan. Whether his is meant maliciously or only as a joke, the map skews violently the true areas of the world, to make the US and USSR look by a large margin the biggest, and other areas much smaller by comparison (also there are little text notes on the map showing Reagan's opinions of certain areas).
