Reminds me of the time my wife bought a wall map that came in pieces like this, she place Hawaii upside down and we couldn’t fix it :(
applesforjuice
You think that's bad, my sister got a Hawaii tattoo in Hawaii from a Hawaiian tattoo artist and he drew it upside down
That takes the cake
imredheaded
This looks expensive
JustHereForTheMemes0321
YOU LOOK EXPENSIVE!!!!
Yeah, I'll stick with $4 fridge magnets for the countries I've been to.
MrTrevorBelmont
I guess it depends on your definition of expensive…is $300+ expensive? I would say yes
Yeah, $300 is a tad expensive
untrugby
Considering the item in the video is $740 then yes it's very expensive
weathercow
They’re not, we just got one too, AND it’s made in Ukraine and proceeds support the front line!
Lankoss
I guess we have different ideas on what we class as expensive. I just looked it up, a medium basic is £140. I wouldn't call that cheap.
I wouldn’t call it cheap, because it’s well made. But I wouldn’t say expensive, just modestly priced for the quality… but fair point.
Interesting. Where do you get it from?

They have cork too!
Sorry Woodywoodua on Etsy, Woody Wood is their company name!
Made in Ukraine!

Yep. Walls are flat.
bobbo007
Probably do studies to see who is going to be buying most of them. You want to be the center, buy more shit.
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
It's not about being the center - the pieces are separate, you could put whichever you want at the center. It's about the ones at the top /1
and bottom being extremely over-sized. /2
But then the play on words for center of attention doesn't work.
PrivateDuds
Which would you prefer? There is no accurate one that is not divided into pieces.
KilroyLichking
buckminster fuller dymaxion map is my favorite
Go away from my children you freak!
Maraxus
My Favorite is Mollweide. But since it goes on a rectangular wall, for aesthetics, I'd take Equirectangular. It's simple. It's good
Yeah, that's it. Mollweide stretches the edges of the map, so you're still deforming (eg) Japan and to me it's unappealing to look at.
You're right, Korea, Alaska, New Zealand and to a decree Japan look wrong. Mollweide is the best equal-area projection but still ->
->any area equal projection is bad in angle-correctness.

One small issue, in the description of the Winkel-Tripel they mention the Kavrayskiy, but the Kavrayskiy isn't pictured.
Too Russian.
Roger that comrade.
Sheldonian
So you want a globe version or...
TAYLORSWlFT
Since there's no background color for water and no border, Winkel-Tripel or Goode Homolosine would both be good choices.
Winkel-Tripel would definitely be a nice choice, yup
necroticon
cyno01
Theyre separate pieces not a contiguous map, you can center each continent and make the relative sizes really accurate. Center the Africa +
piece at 0, center the russia piece at ~66N, center north america at ~33N, south america ~15S etc. No reason for greenland to be that huge.
I mean, that's a choice you can make, but it's still a choice between many models because there's no perfect flat model
seehemewe
Saw a graphic where the US could fit inside Africa and was like "LIES!" then looked at a globe and was like "oops I've been lied to"
Sechran
Beautiful, though kinda inconsistent what with the US/Canada being divided into provinces, while the rest of the world is just countries.
Frostycopper
US is big enough for that, and that’s how it’s shown on US maps.
FuturePastNow
Russia and Australia are also divided up, probably to keep those continents from looking bland. China & Brazil should be too though.
R0NSwanson
I have one of these. They are made in Ukraine. Russian, and Australia are also split by state/region.
I think it's mainly for aesthetics. Otherwise the whole top-left corner is pretty plain. Like Russia and China are large and empty, but /1
they're surrounded by other smaller countries, so it looks more interesting. North America would just be four giant chunks - Canada, US, /2
Mexico and Greenland. Not too attractive for this kind of decorative map. /3
TheCanadianGuyThatSaySorry
Us and canada are really big it make sense to split them, but it's true that china, russia and Australia are really big too... It's weird
And it's just for exemple, brazil, india and many others should be split, but for exemple Portugal is really small
myr14d
Australia is also divided, as apparently is the UK. I'm assuming it's because the major English speaking countries are the target customers.
jdregius92
UK would be divided because it is multiple countries, not states/ provinces.
So not really weird, just targeted.
NotAPervert
Each US state has a size & population pretty comparable to an entire country, it’s not like it shows counties within states right?
scummos
Well, Germany for example has 16 sub-states which have on average similar size (in population) like the US states.
That said, it looks like a modular enough design, would be cool if “extra detail” options like sub states existed for country of origin
The other important part is the geographic space of US states also being comparable to entire countries
Well, its easy because. USA USA USA!
Yeah, but the Germany as a total has a population of 83 million. 3 US states combined, Cali, Texas, and florida, have 89 million.
Ok but Maine, Wyoming and Alaska have 3 million and they are also shown. On average, US states have 6.5M population, German have 5.4M.
I think their point is that the German states have similar populations to many of the US states being shown.
Eh, fair enough. I think the land area is significant for a global map, but also America doesn’t need states to be shown
