New Zealand may be on the very edge of our distorted, Eurocentric, Mercator projection map, but that’s no excuse to remove them from maps entirely. Yet, world maps all over the world seem to be leaving out New Zealand.
The world map at the Central Park Zoo doesn’t show New Zealand; every single Starbucks map on the planet seems to ignore the country’s existence; and the New Zealand government website itself has forgotten it lived on Planet Earth. There’s even a Reddit thread dedicated to all the world maps not featuring New Zealand and it’s compiled a list of 40,000 and counting.
