Thank you! I've been wanting something like that for a while: map projections centered on arbitrary lat/lon coordinates, with an arbitrary 'up' direction instead of north. But all the ones I've found were solely for Mercator. This is ... an improvement. (I still want to be able to enter, like, the location of my childhood home growing up and use the direction of the streetgrid as my sense of 'north' for a Kavrayskiy projection, though ...)

Don't tell Russia where New Zealand is. The national security strategy is based on nobody knowing.

I know Iran is mountainous, but it's pretty crazy to see it being in the same realm as Switzerland while being such a large county, and with a long coastline at that. And I had no idea Britain was so flat. E: ok it's mean elevation, so flatness is not implied.

I wish they had data for the constituent parts of the UK. I don't expect a lot of variation but I'm guessing there's not none.

Yeah highlands actually lend themselves to big populations p well especially closer to the equator. See the Incas, Mexico, African Great Lakes

If Antarctica could be shifted to not be cut in half it would be perfect for a Terra flag. Other than Gilan and Manzandaran most of Iran lives in the higher bits, I think   e: It sure rules being indo-european

If it's Mercator it wraps around the long axis, so you can just shift the map over a little so the split is between Antarctica and South America.

Denmark still had multiple ticketing systems and methods for calculating the price of a journey until about a decade ago.

Archduke Frantz Fanon posted:which means traveling through those areas required different tickets No it doesn't, they're only responsible for local trains and you can buy your ticket from Deutsche Bahn either way, and even if you were to cross the entire country by local trains exclusively, you'd still only need one ticket. There would be a hell of a lot of bureaucracy going on behind the scenes to split the revenue from your ticket though.

DB are very bad at running their trains on time but my experience has been that the ticket system, information and app are all very good compared to SNCF and whatever goes on in Italy

One is super hyped but sucks, one is supposed* to be poo poo but is pretty solid. *I hear part of the BRD's constitution is that the trains must not run on time

My experiences with trains in France from last year: - If you have to go beyond Paris and go through it you have to navigate a busy metro system and just hope you get your connection because they never bothered to interconnect their stations in Paris. - There's a dense enough network of railway lines but regional trains further away from Paris don't go all that often. You can't just plan a quick trip to another town, it quickly becomes a whole day thing that requires you to get up at 6 AM.

Italy seems to have a gazillion different organizations running the trains, with completely separate schedules and ticketing systems and sometimes even train stations. But at least they have stations and schedules, which is more than can be said for many bus routes.

Carbon dioxide posted:My experiences with trains in France from last year: I mean the metro and RER are the interconnection. It sucks but it'd be insane to construct a third separate system for train changes (and Paris is the centre of the known universe so why would anyone ever just pass through it, duh, must be part of the logic)

Many of the station are also located like airports. Take for example the TGV Lorraine Station.  You've never arrived nowhere so fast before.
