[QUOTE="RickG, post: 69026750, member: 293581"] Xalith, what you are referring to is the discipline of cartography, thus map making. It pretty much has to do with what country the map originated as to what the focus of the center is. If you look at a the second example, a Mercator projection, in the OP you will observe that the the center there is Europe and/or Africa. Here in the United States the Center focus is North and South America. For those in the Far East, China and Australia are going to be in the center of the map. [/QUOTE]
