splitting asia in two isn't nice

why would you cut asia in half like that

Objectively the most logical map.

>international date line suddenly in the middle of the map
Objectively wrong.

What the fuck with the ice blocks up right and left?

>lets cut an continent by the middle but lets have 2 huge oceans in the middle
that's pretty retarded

Because in order to properly navigate the world we needed Britain to be in the centre

it looks like Europe is closer to America than China while it's not the case irl

What's logical about this one?

Sea is in the middle so no-one feels hard done to and we all hold hands and sing kumbahya

Because it has all the important parts of the world in the middle, or very close to the middle.

IE: Africa, Europe, Western Asia, Eastern America(s)

Only Bangladesh gets really fucked desu

Because with Europe and Africa in the middle, America in the west and Asia in the east we can bully New Zealand by removing them from maps

Because it's on the wrong side of the globe.

actually, pic related is the only accurate map of the world
