I'm curious if anyone ever made a "Super Mercator" projection, something where "ze west" is even more exaggerated and some continents even more disproportionately reduced missing/removed to own the libs. It kinda sounds like something governments would do/people would like nowadays.

Africa is fucking vast! I always knew that,but looking at mercator maps puts it in perspective. You could comfortably fit Russia into it, the worlds largest country by are 😳
