We have a new map of the world for the house, it's about time, seeing as the last one still showed the USSR. This one if the Peter's projection world map, which shows the world as it reaistically is. Good heavens, America is tiny, and Mexico is huge. The UK is about the same size (tichy in both) although it now looks rather squatched. But why is America protrayed as so huge? Did some red-neck twats decided 'Ehhh, we're the best country in the world, we gotta be the biggest!' Or maybe that's the only way to show all fifty states. Oh well, maybe we should preserve the old map for historical purposes (come on it shows east Germany)
