Or his desserts are small,
Who dares not put it to the touch,
To win or lose it all!"

Is it just me, or is the gap between Alaska and Russia HUGE?

I think it's a map projection thing - the land masses are somewhat distorted at higher latitudes.

I figured it was a larger-than-historical Australia + DKB/Maoria thing.

From the INTERGOVERNMENTAL COMMITTEE ON SURVEYING & MAPPING website
The world from the other side (real world to show the distortion one gets from that angle)

Side note, anyone know if we there is a program we can use put the Navalism world on a globe and using the first map projection as a guild?  Thus being able to see what the world (and some of the new landmasses) look like when they are not distorted....cause Maoria is way distorted really.
