Wow, I’m not sure that I’ve ever seen a map that splits down the Atlantic ocean vs Pacific! Really threw my brain off for a moment having the Americas off to the right side, rather than the left. I can definitely see why it was done that way, but just so odd to realize how infrequently I encounter maps drawn that way.

That’s awesome! It’s different enough from the “standard” maps, though, that it doesn’t confuse my brain the way moving the “seam” does.
That is a badass projection method! I don’t think I’ve seen it before.
