| Neat! I wonder how they deal with people using possibly different map projections? |

| I was wondering the same thing, but playing it you only fill in small border segments at a time, with the rest of the map filled in, so the projection doesn't change much. |

| The data collection is standardised through my border drawing game so no issue with that |

| ▲ | teiferer 6 hours ago | parent [-] | | I think the question comes from (or is at least related to) the recent UN vote on moving from Mercator to Equal Earth projection. What people are drawing isn't the "truth" on average. First, nobody has seen the world from actual far away (space) and is just using what they remember from school or other media. And second, there is no "truth" because we are fundamentally dealing with a 2d projection of the 3d surface of a sphere and there are many different projections, all with advantages and disadvantages, neither being more correct than any other. |
