How would I create a checker pattern that wraps around a globe? I would 
like the checker to alternate between latitude, longitude, etc. Thanks!

"Checker pattern and a spherical warp" would be my first thought.

sphere { 0,av_ra
texture {
checker texture { pigment { color rgb <1,1,0> } },texture { pigment
{color rgb 0.5} }
 scale 1/4 warp { spherical orientation y } } }

you can adjust the frequency of alternating by tuning the scale 1/4 to
your need, even with a non uniform scale.

av_ra is the radius of your globe.

I forgot I did this once before for an object collection item. I ended 
up copying the code and re-using it.

#declare latitude_pigment_1 = pigment
{
	radial
	color_map
	{
		[0.5 color srgb <040,066,018>/255]
		[0.5 color srgb <067,084,029>/255]
	}
	frequency longitude_div/2
}
#declare latitude_pigment_2 = pigment
{
	radial
	color_map
	{
		[0.5 color srgb <067,084,029>/255]
		[0.5 color srgb <040,066,018>/255]
	}
	frequency longitude_div/2
}
/*
#declare radius_pigment = pigment
{
	function {f_r(x,y,z)}
	pigment_map
	{
		[0 color srgb 1/2]
		[1 latitude_pigment_1]
	}
}
*/
#declare longitude_pigment = pigment
{
	function {f_ph(x,y,z)/pi}
	pigment_map
	{
		[0.5 latitude_pigment_1]
		[0.5 latitude_pigment_2]
	}
	frequency longitude_div/4
}
#declare checker_sphere_pigment = pigment {longitude_pigment}

I was going to post something similar to this, but with a gradient map for  
the longitude pigment. Yours is more accurate anyway.
