Technically you could re-arrange it so that any region is at the center, but it really fucks with the topology. Infinite Authagraph is actually cooler, but then you see how hosed up all the oceans and especially the arctic is:  New map projections are silly anyway, they clearly peaked at Kavrayskiy VII.
