I mean... we're technically on there, nominally.

Yeah nah it's on the map.

For sure, but what's with that map projection though? It's like we've been squished in against Australia.

[–] Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Yeah it's weird. But better a bit weird than not there.

Looks kinda like a Gall-Peters projection. But maybe a bit more squished.

[–] Dave@lemmy.nz 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Maybe but the NZ placement is way off. Te Tai Tokerau and Tasmania probably shouldn't be at equivalent lattitudes.

[–] absGeekNZ@lemmy.nz 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Agreed. Looks like they cut and paste us closer and lower down..

We didn't fit but they didn't want to end up on /mapswithoutnz so squished us in instead.
