I just think it seems a little strange that we look at the countries like we do... America on the left, England in the middle, China & Australia etc on the right, when really the map could have an upside down iceland as the focus point for example!! I do understand that the North & South Poles have to be North and South obviously, but who says that North has to be upwards, when if your in space the north pole is still the north pole, it just might be on the left, the right or wherever?! So why do Globe's, maps etc illustrate it always on top?
Thanks!
