The UN just voted to replace the Mercator projection with some more modern stuff (at least on UN maps). Only the United States voted against, calling it a ridiculous pseudo-issue. Sure, maybe. But this is of course the same Trump administration which renamed the Gulf of Mexico "Gulf of America" and (apparently) also rebaptized Lake Ontario. The pot is calling the kettle black, methinks.
But then it struck me. Greenland is enormously effing large at Mercator world maps. Larger than Africa, in fact. Maybe *that´s* why the POTUS likes this particular projection?
Hmmm...
