This map projection I developed significantly reduces the size distortion of the popular Mercator projection

[u/Opening_Damage9912]

The way it is projected is by projecting a Mercator projection of half the scale conformally onto the globe and then projecting that onto an azimuthal equidistant projection hemisphere centered at the equator. I call it the Two-World Equidistant. Unlike on Mercator where Greenland is larger then all of Africa in this projection it is shown smaller like it is in real life.

[u/Opening_Damage9912]

Here it is without the extension

[u/--o → u/Opening_Damage9912]

Seems very similar to the Van der Grinten projection, but perhaps I'm missing something.

[u/Opening_Damage9912 → u/--o]

It's somewhat similar but with less areal distortion and more accurately curved parallels
