The UN decided to replace the Mercator projection with the "Equal Earth" projection. Going forward, all maps will use the new format.Are you happy with this decision? And how does this affect your country?
Mercator was always a retarded map used only for navigation.
Basedest thing they've done in 100 years of existance
>two of the 3 biggest beneficiaries of the deficiencies of the Mercator projection are already the biggest countries on earth anywayget fucked Greenland
>>224458275Mercator is bullshit anyway

>>224458275>Togo, which spearheaded a campaign for the resolution on behalf of the African Union, said the resolution “recognises and affirms that disproportionate cartographic representations, particularly those resulting from the Mercator projection, have had lasting cognitive, educational, cultural, geopolitical and socioeconomic effects, contributing to a drastic reduction in the perceived size of Africa and other regions of the world in the global collective imagination”.I thought it was being replaced cause it was innacurate turns out its being replaced because it makes africans feel insecure?Clown world.
>>224458275Mercator projection was Canado-Grennlando-Scando-Finno-Russian propaganda, so yes I'm happy because the equatorial parts of France: Guyane, Mayotte and Reunion are going to be bigger now.
>>224458275This has to be bullshit, there's no way in the hell they were still using the Mercator projection
>>224460262>>224458275It’s a good change, but for the wrong reasons.>>224460824What are you talking about? Every single standard map uses the Mercator.
>>224458336What do you use maps for other than navigation? What am I supposed to do with weird blob that doesn't fit on square paper and makes all coordinate systems harder for no reason?
>>224458275>here you go thridie retard, look at the bbc on map, big black continent and forget about the reperations haahaha
>>224458275If Africa's so big, why couldn't they let the white man have some of it? Look at how tiny Europe is.
I remember being taught in elementary school that Mercator was ass and Equal Earth was superior
>>224458275I like how it’s making Redditors seethe.
No surprise that ameriKKKa voted against this but why did Estonia, Georgia, Lithuania, Moldova, Serbia, and Ukraine abstain?

Balls won. 3D graphics won. Flatcels keep copejecting.
>>224464335hohols posted an explanation in englishhttps://un.mfa.gov.ua/news/explanation-vote-draft-resolution-correct-map-rebalancing-global-cartographic-representation-and-promoting-equitable-representation-worlds-regions-particularly-africa-80l104>The “Equal Earth” maps depict parts of Ukraine’s territory that have been temporarily occupied by Russia, in flagrant violation of the Charter of the United Nations and international law, in a manner that is wholly unacceptable.idk what map they showed at the UN but if it did have national borders then that could also explain Georgia, Moldova, and Serbia. Estonia and Lithuania are probably just the usual Russia Derangement Syndrome.

>>224464625Answer the question retard.

Why is Australia so tiny?
