Atlas Altera’S Take On All World Maps Are Wrong

Di: Ava

Why All World Maps are Wrong!When you think of the world map, probably this is the image that comes to mind—it’s everywhere, in atlases, schools, and on Goog

From political borders to land mass and the limits of 2D. Believe it or not, all the world maps are wrong. Find out more now. So all maps of the earth are created using a certain “projection,” some being more complex than others. It’s easy to get deep in the weeds along these lines, because there are probably as many projections used throughout history as there have been cartographers or mathematicians thinking about them. It’s difficult to come up with an accurate map because cartographers have to stretch a sphere to fit into a rectangle. Continue reading

The corner maps showcase information to take into account when looking into religious differences across the world. To understand the hold of a religion on a country, one must know just how religious the population is on average, or how many different other religions or minority religions exist in that country.

Free Map Drop: Wiki-style Comparative Map Something else I have been meaning to do is make Wiki-style comparative maps or value-themed maps, and I shared that ability with you over the winter break by allowing the community to use the same base map to explore and map out how different things/variables/life might play out in Altera. Atlas Altera is an exercise in alternate history for imagining a world where cultural differences flourish. The project illuminates the diversities in our own

Hindsight from the End of the War

It’s simply an alt-geo intervention to allow for more room for the Austronesian language groups (the most unique Austronesian language branches all exist in OTL Taiwan) that I wanted to surface in my project. You don’t see them in this graphic, but they are represented on the main political world map. If you’re not familiar with Altera, I suggest you checkout the website. Looking Back from 1945 – Factions of WW2 in Altera For a higher resolution version, go to my Deviantart.

Various other flat maps have been drawn over the centuries, but they all have the same issue: It is impossible to portray the 3D Earth on a 2D I have been working on this project, which I call Atlas Altera, for about ten years, but I got serious about this side hobby only in the last few years. I first introduced a version of this map on Reddit. I got pretty good responses, so I thought I’d find other ways to share it. The point of Atlas Altera is to tell facts through storytelling, because how reality is portrayed often hides

Currently, most world maps on this site use the Robinson projection. Here’s a blank map of the Earth, followed by a completely blank map with only lines of latitude and longitude.

Whatever the reason, these mental map errors are so pervasive and stubborn that even professionals have them. A 1985 study of mental world maps found that geographers had the same misconceptions of the relative latitude of cities in North America and Europe as everyone else. Cartographers aren’t immune either. You know those maps where Greenland is bigger than South America and Russia looks absolutely gigantic? They’re wrong. Very wrong. more

Why (almost) all world maps are wrong Most maps are based on a 450-year-old design so you’d think they’d be right – they’re not. Every map you’ve ever seen is lying to you. Discover why the Earth can never be accurately mapped, what your favorite projection is hiding, and how it all shapes your view of the world. Not OP, but they’ve also done a map of different batting sports to show similar games to baseball and cricket in the Atlas Altera world. This is just the evolution of various sports that, like pre-1860s Law of the Game lower-class European football, evolved in different ways and have mixes of using your feet and hands on the ball as well as some level of tackling or physical contact.

Fourteen Greenlands could fit in Africa— but you wouldn’t guess it from most maps of the world. The fact is, every world map humans have ever made is wrong. Actually, it’s impossible to make a flat map of the whole spherical world 100% right. So why do we bother with these inaccurate maps at all? Kayla Wolf explores how even the simplest changes in map design can shift our point of The OTL World Cup 2022 is underway, but many of us are still scratching our heads at how it ended up in Qatar To add to that, many are wondering just how the Atlas Altera World Cup works instead. Here’s a road map that u/zeiner and I developed to show the qualification groups (by region) and berth allocations used by the IOFCAF. At some point, many people realise that the map they have always taken for granted is actually quite distorted in its sizes and proportions. It’s always a big aha moment when I show students that the seemingly solved problem of projecting the world as a globe onto a flat surface is an impossible task. For me, it’s a very good starting point for thinking about how

Why (almost) all world maps are wrong Most maps are based on a 450-year-old design so you’d think they’d be right – they’re not. Atlas Altera is a syntopian fiction project that leverages the classroom cliché map to reimagine how diversity and co-existence can take shape, all the while building from real but buried geographies. Being at the edge of Africa and right on the precipice of the Sahara, Atlasia was long regarded as a frontier, and yet, it was so much more.

The other map we did in this line of thinking was the Batting Around the Globe map on safe haven games. This one features the six most prominent „mob sports“ or full contact type of football to be played professionally around the world of Altera. Maps are flat representations of our spherical planet. I cut open a plastic globe to understand just what it takes to turn a sphere into something Morning Map lovers! All world maps are completely WRONG! What am I talking about? Well, imagine you’re an ancient map maker aka a Cartographer! Now, everybody knows the Earth is a sphere But carrying around a big bulky spherical map everywhere would suck butt. So you’ve been tasked with turning this globe map into a foldable flat map

All of this means that any world map must have some distortion, and therefore has to compromise between preserving areas or angles. If you’ve ever used google maps, you will already be familiar with the Mercator projection. This projection preserves angles, and so distorts areas, particularly those close to the north and south poles. Following our previous Prelude to WW2 map, Zveiner and I made this map for Atlas Altera to build further the lore for Altera’s WW2. The two maps together will help direct us and some of our Fellow Travellers who are trying to produce a HOI4 Altera mod. All world maps are technically incorrect because the Earth is round but maps are flat, requiring distortions. A German mathematician created the cylindrical projection in 1756 to more accurately depict the spherical Earth on a flat surface. While map locations are correct, sizes may be altered due to the impossibility of perfectly representing a globe on a flat surface. Different projections
