The north-west has broken and highland relief, while in the south-eastern part the land is mainly level. The south of the Republic is occupied by vast areas of Belarusian Polesje (wood land) which is a large waterlogged flat depression stretching for 450 km from the river Bug to the Dniepr.
Might go some way to explain it.
There is no explanation other than that the designer has overlooked it, or not thought of it due to inexperience. Holland is about the flattest pancake on earth and even there you can't do without some elevation differences. My criticism is not so much towards the maker but more to the testers who failed to notice.
On a side note, I don't think Kool Kat's response below is helping anyone. My criticism is mild, normal and not offensive to anyone. Besides that there are very few who have helped others more in their designing efforts than me.
