It's not really fair to translate the names back into English in this way. Finland, for instance, is 芬兰 which does indeed mean fragrant orchid, but the reason that name was picked is because it's pronounced fēnlán which sounds roughly similar to "Finland" in English. To Chinese people, these are just phonetic loan words and don't carry any meaning beyond being state names. That said, the map as a literal translation is mostly "correct", even though it is meaningless. I might add that "Asia" also is a loan word in Chinese. If you do a literal translation of that name, it comes out as being something along the lines of "secondary/inferior continent". This does not mean that Chinese people think Asia is a bad continent. It's just a phonetic loan.
