What a flashback! I thought this map was so cool in 8th grade lol

Clearly they mean the Mercator projection. Since they're not in 8th grade anymore ,they've realized the shortcomings.

Missing South Sudan. Though tbf the picture looks like it might actually predate it. But what happens if a border changes dramatically?
