G R,!
It seems South America is winning! Great success for South American. I remember when my teacher and sister Lyssia, told us that the world map should be upside down, due to the fact that it was whites suppressing darker skinned people. I remember thinking it was totally illogical to flip the world map, as to convice the "supreme" society would take more effort then the gratification of having it flipped, would give. At the same time, I see the point... evolved people realize its significance while unevolved people don't.
"What? You say it's not significant? WELL YOU'RE NOT EVOLVED! I don't know how you got out of the stone age, but go back to the shadow, you fiend!"
Notice how I am able to preemptly deflect any 3rd party devils advocate? Great success!
love

The standard map we see in America was created by German cartographers who "centered" the view at a lattitude that includes Germany (and most of the US.) It does (therefore) make the entire Southern hemisphere look smaller than it should.
On U.S. maps Africa and Europe look about the same size. Actually Africa is about 3x larger (30 million square kilometers compared to 10 million.)
