    True Map

    All the attempts to show a 3-D world on a 2-D sheet of paper use various projections, the most common being Mercator.
    he result is grossly exaggerated difference in size of continents and countries.  This one is more accurate in their relationships.

     Freedom is just another word for nothin' left to lose.

    I like that, in an artistic sort of way.  But it's fairly useless when looking at a region to see how neighboring countries fit together.

    That view needs to be added to the corner of Mercator maps.
