Large World Map
The image of World Map above is centered on Europe and Africa. Moreover, this World Map image focuses on the location of various countries around the world. Further, this map points out the names and geographical boundaries of these countries.
Representation of a spherical earth on a flat surface requires a map projection. This transformation of spherical earth on to a flat plane produces some distortion, which cannot be avoided. In the above World Map image, the Mercator projection has been used. Though it creates distortion, it is minimal distortion at the equator.

The purpose of this map is to provide correct location, names and boundaries of all the countries in the world. In fact, this map is very useful for teachers, students and for academic purposes. On this image of the World Map, geographic boundaries that run north to south appear in the form of vertical lines. Moreover, geographic boundaries that run east to west appear as horizontal lines. Meanwhile, the projection used in this image of the World Map leads to minimum country-shape distortion, specifically near the equator. Further, a little distortion can be found at the mid-latitudes, whereas extreme distortion will occur in the projection of the poles. Therefore, for the reason stated above, we have not extended the world political map towards the north and south poles.
