People fight wars over maps, even though they are not the territory. Nine dashes, can you imagine? The maps can be just as risky as the territory. People will feel just as violated by fake nudes as real ones.
People don't fight wars over a random human person drawing over a map. It's not even something you'd think would be made illegal.
The wars happen when nations disagree about borders. Those borders are represented by maps but luckily nation states don't confuse the two (except for political theater and posturing). The wars happen when the real physical objects go over the real physical borders not when a random person scribbles on a map.
I think my analogy holds up pretty well even with your stretching of the scenario.
