Okay, so you say the Earth is flat? I suppose with Japan in the outer east and USA in the outer west? (If not pls explain your dimensions... anything else would lead to more problems).
Explain how Japan attacks Pearl Harbour via sea without crossing the entire fucking world to do so? Im pretty sure everyone would notice a fleet crossing the entire fucking map.
This is just something that has always amused me. Never seen it answered, so please do if you can.
The azimuthal equidistant map falls apart in the determination of longitude.
Latitude is easy to determine, longitude is not nearly as easy, hence why Australia east to west looks stretched while new Zealand north to south looks accurate.
