i like this one the most desu, not realistic but at least you can see all countries at a decent size


THE WORST fucking maps are the ones they use in Asia where Japan/China are in the centre - Europe is fucking difficult to even make out on such maps.

Is this any good?

Hahaha how are projections even real hahaha just use a globe

Disgusting. For a rectangular map, the best is those which fit on the paper like a Mercator projection.

gross. mercator remains the most aesthetically pleasing and practical for most purposes. hence why google and other internet firms use it.

Tbh only niggers and degenerates hate Mercator projection.

>>3298387
If your favorite map has 90 degree angle corners you have to kill yourself.
>>
>>3298400
maps need angles to be useful you blithering dolt. even google admitted as such when losers complained that they utilize mercator. https://support.google.com/maps/forum/AAAAQuUrST8A2ygEJ5eG-o/?hl=en

people who favor mercator are engineers, programers, sailers, actual historians. people who bitch about it are literally high-school kiddos who favor some ignorance derived political agenda over usefulness.
