Chinese view on the world map?
-
We in Europe have a euro centric view of the world, GMT helps.
In China they too have a China centric view of the world.
Below, note how elongated their map is, also poor Canada and US are upside down, and Australia and South America are turned 90°, but China is in the centre.
Note how close New York is to Russia.
Here is one of their maps.

IMHO it could be also a Russian or Indian centric World Map to me. :astonished_face:

Yeah you don't see the globe rolled that way too often, with the vertical stretch like that, though it's probably not half bad for printing in a textbook on a single page or for mobile devices with a more vertical screen display. Seeing the Western hemisphere inverted would probably give people pause where I live, but it would probably be cool for a WW3 scenario, with birds flying over the arctic or whatever hehe. Anytime I see maps that show both sides of the Arctic, it sort of clarifies the position of NATO vis a vis Russia/USSR. Or maybe a WW4 map where the Antarctic is somehow the prize lol.
I will say, making any A&A style map is always an exercise in Eurocentrism or Western jingoism, just cause of how the game works and prioritizes that theater with a zoom, though seeing alternative projections makes me feel better about some of the warps I made on that last map hehe. I mean I guess they'd be pleased that the shape of China is somewhat more realistic, though it'd still be banned there, I'm sure. I mean since we freed Tibet like the Beastie Boys, and have all those sweet R.O.C. flags lol. That potatoe is probably hot to handle over there heheh
