As an early Christmas present, I treated myself to a poster of the Spilhaus projection. I always loved this view on the planet. The map is now living in our house 😃.

This is a fantastic version from www.le-cartographe.net

This is very interesting, thanks. I don’t think I’ve heard the ‘vaster Empire’ phrase quite that way before.

I don’t have the spoons this morning to do it justice so I’m going to as help please with #Alt4Me so you can have a fulsome description to add as AltText.
