        What projection is this? Is it like a modified Mercator or am I just so not used to both Mercator and upside down this looks insane?

        I mean, Alaska is bigger than 50% of the contiguous US.

        I mean, if you want to go with facts, and history, and maps, and stuff, sure… But from a vibe-geography standpoint, it’s in North America.

        Also Panama used to be part of Colombia and Panama is in North America so I think we can grandfather Colombia in as long as they’re also willing to dig a trench across their country, or something.
