It's amazing how small America is compared to other places... yet can have so much power.

It's called the Peter's Projection: http://www.petersmap.com/

I think it's amazing how small Britain is when you consider how much power and influence it's had on so much of the world.

Globes are... the trick is when you try to put a globe on a flat surface.

No idea. I haven't played in a decade.

So the amazing fact is that the US still teached geography with the Mercator map from the 16th century and the rest of the world uses the Peters projection?
