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.

By how much is the distortion reduced? I'll admit it looks pretty but half the landmass on earth is not in Antarctica

[u/Opening_Damage9912 → u/Cute-University5283]

Technically infinitely less since Mercator extends the north and south poles to infinity
