Ah, yes, Mercator: The only map projection that's absolutely uselsess 
except for the single purpose of Navigating from A to B using nothing 
but a compass. (And from what I know it's also the only projection that 
does fit this purpose.)

You seem to have placed blue caps at the poles; is it a mere coincidence 
that they're just the right size to show up on the northern and southern 
edges of the map?
