A Mountweazel is a deliberate fiction placed as a stratagem to reveal plagiarism and copyright infringement.I assume Froglandia is an original creation. In that case the whole thing (and any map thereof) can be considered to be a Mountweazel.
Fun With Copyright Traps: 10 Hoax Definitions, Paper Towns, and Other Things That Don’t Exist
AGLOE, NYThe town of Agloe, New York, was invented by map makers, but the practice of inserting fictional towns, roads, rivers or other geographical has been in place nearly as long as cartography itself. The weird thing that happened with Agloe, though, doesn’t really ever happen: it became a real place. The Agloe General Store was built at its fictional location, prompting the (real) county administrator to declare Agloe an actual town.
I was going to ask why they’re called mountweazels. Apparently, they were named after a woman with that last name. Imagine going through life with the name Mountweazel.
The GPS people who plagiarized the Froglandia map were deeply chagrined when their app kept routing people across the Rotifer Bridge on the 3HourTour downtown bypass, as this was actually an unnamed one lane fire lane through the Froglandia Forest to the Vlad Shield Barrens, and dead-ended at the western edge of the LoveFeel lava pit.
The directions to Froglandia are easy, you go to Cloud Cuckoo Land, make a left turn at Shambhala, go past Cockaigne straight toward Kunlun Mountain, you can’t miss it!
Man… all this talk’s gots me hungries.Gonna go get me a big bowl of creamed weasels.You wanna feel the love?That’s where you’re gonna feeeeel the loooove.It’s the cumin and saffron, ya know…
The next item is this one-of-a-kind antique and historical map of Froglandia, engraved in marble for mass printing by crayon rubbing by the lost artisans of the Amphibia.Bidding begins at a minimum of twenty brazillion sackweasels.Who will open?Indicate your bid by mooning the auctioneer, please.
Oops…Sorry.I am notified that the description of that last item should have been “engraved on A Marble”.Still, quite a bargain for only twenty brazillion sackweasels.

I’ve known Mountweasels in my time, but the one raising frogs for snakes is one Mountweasel too many.
