Question
If borders were drawn only by culture and connections, how would the map look different?
Answer

If borders were drawn only by culture and connections, the map would look completely different. It would look like a complex mosaic rather than the neat lines as in a political map. This type of map would represent shared identities, languages, religions, culture and historical connections rather than administrative and legal divisions. In reality constructing this type of map would be really a complex and complicated process. In my opinion, it would create conflicts and confusions too.
