It is quite funny to see the US and the Americas generally kinda cast to the side in this map.

While it's obviously putting China and Asia in the middle (actually looks like India is right in the middle) ... as far as making certain areas look bigger or smaller than actually are, compared to the standard mercator style projections ... Russia and Greenland seem to be the "losers" here while Africa looks relatively huge.
