Easier to read for smaller children.
Serious remarks: It doesn’t make sense to center a map around the emptiness of the Pacific. Also by doing it this way, Africa and South America are still pushed to the sidelines.
The achingly fashionable „Peters“ projection has had its own Eurocentric bias self-consciously „corrected“ by shoving Germany and all its wicked neighbours into a corner, while the tyranny of the northern hemisphere is overthrown and charged with crime of not being the Global South – this is sure to solve all the world’s ills!
