Here is my artistic vision of the Earth, with Mercator projection turned off and actually useable: https://gamerforaliving.com/WORLDMAP9_EverythingON.jpg I never found one online so I drawed it myself. There are still some touch ups to do here and there, but there is the thing in progress. Note that on this picture I have all data layers turned ON, so it looks a bit chaotic.
-White lines: Major airlines routes.
-Black lines: Major ship routes (thicker means more strategic, not necessarily more traffic).
-Airports.
-Spaceports (including SpaceX).
-Light blue dots: Silver mines.
-Orange dots: Gold mines.
-Green dots: Titanium mines.
-Dark grey dots: Aluminium mines.
-Pink dots: Iron mines.
-Yellow dots: Copper mines.
-Blue dots: UK military bases.
-Red dots: USA military/installation bases.
-Yellow-green dots: Nuclear powerplants.

Next planned data layers: Touristic attractions, fisheries, volcanoes, underwater topology, tropics, longlat guides, the 7 Wonders, stars, most popular or strategic inventions, demography, religions, languages, and more. I am coding a web program that will allow to turn seperate layers ON/OFF. And a tabletop game.

Don't hesitate to share the illustration. I think it is the most representative illustration. Routes make so much more sense on a flat earth model, and even more with Mercator projection turned off. It sincerly helped me understand so many things as I live in Quebec, Canada.

Let me know what you think. If you are Photoshop lovers and would wish to contribute creating new data layers, it would be very helpful.
