How fucking large does she think her itty bitty medieval countt(r)y is?!? She expects to be able to spot it on a world-map, despite not ever having seen a worldmap even of her own reality before?
Well...it's a country not a village, also she would at least recognize some shapes and probably does not expect to be dropped on the opposite side of the planet.

Probably there wouldn't be any world map, but someone as high ranking as a knight would know the geography of her own country at least. The biggest hint would be the name of the continent she was in, which wouldn't exist in Earth's map.

The distances normally seen in these iskai stories are so extremely tiny. It would not be strange for her to not know the shape of her countries continent.
Unless she's a high ranking knight I doubt she'd normally have access to a map, with the larger of them likely being state secrets. And even if she was around a map at some point, actually reading a map is not an inherent skill in humans so yet again, unless she's some kind of high ranking knight she'd not know shit about them.
Then we also have the two different worlds & civilizations most likely having some variations on how to draw maps added to that the way you draw a map obviously differes depending on what information the map is made to provide. Likely whatever maps her military would use would only show topography of various contested areas around her kingdom since maps are likely state secrets. Even if she was a princess (knight) she'd have to be seriously studious to read maps well enough to pinpoint the lack of her country on a far away countrys map in her own world, much less a different worlds map.
Then we also have language, different countries are not named the same by all other countries, they might be called the same in a specific language but not even that is consistently true, so how can she assume that her country isn't there just because the name isn't a complete match? Is she an idiot? Well yes she most likely is.

TLDR: She wouldn't know if her country was on the map unless she spent multiple minutes studying (with MLs active help) at the very least.

You do realize that medieval countries were normally far smaller than countries are nowadays, yeah? The sheer delay and effort of communications being enough to singlehandedly cap the viable size by itself (with a rare few exceptions, mainly countries able to use boats - and the mongolians because they sure don't play by anyone's rules, not even thumb's rules (rule of thumb)).
But that is not the main reason why her recognizing it on a world map would be feasible.

Names change with the language.
But the reason it isn't feasible, is because borders don't exist in reality. As you see from the image, he shows a map without anything beyond the shorelines marked, and even if her country wasn't landlocked (or she knew some maritime countries) the sheer scale of things makes it hard to spot the shoreline you would recognize. There's a reason most islands (or other smaller details and rivers) aren't visible on most world-maps, despite them being exactly how I would go about locating my city on a map if I had to.
Besides, even if his map had had borders, the nature of maps back then would be that the borders drawn would be (extremely) inexact and likely outdated. Even moreso if it is a place far enough away to not know the name of your country. So she wouldn't have been able to rely on them.

You are making a lot of assumptions about a fantasy world we have seen like 10 panels of. Medieval fantasy =/= 1-to-1 medieval european simulator with magic. Who knows how large her country is? How large her world is? Maybe she looked at the map and saw that half of it wasn't covered by the giant meteor impact that was used to wipe out the demon king 100 years ago that her kingdom sits on the edge of. Maybe the kingdom is on a continent or island that is perfectly circular.

You could be right, and it could be just as dumb as the mini-orgasm over plain white rice last chapter, but it's weird to assume these things about a setting we haven't been introduced to.

She probably does. But probably not what scale it would be compared to our world map.

However, what I wonder is why she just bolted out the door when she didn't find her country on that map. What is she expecting to find on her own?
