Africa is huge
Oh I know … I noted it as a positive of the map … probably makes Africa feel appropriately big compared to the rest of the world.
A little bit of neuroscience and a little bit of computing

It is quite funny to see the US and the Americas generally kinda cast to the side in this map.
While it’s obviously putting China and Asia in the middle (actually looks like India is right in the middle) … as far as making certain areas look bigger or smaller than actually are, compared to the standard mercator style projections … Russia and Greenland seem to be the “losers” here while Africa looks relatively huge.
That’s actually quite cool. Its nice how the world’s geography is reflected in the broad structure of the map (as it’s have to be I presume).
Yea those Andes are crazy … no wonder the Amazon comes out of them!
Basically China, India and Japan with a Vietnam somewhere but they don’t want to talk about it.
