What projection is this? Is it like a modified Mercator or am I just so not used to both Mercator and upside down this looks insane?

I mean, Alaska is bigger than 50% of the contiguous US.

No idea, I just searched for "upside down map of north and south america". It does look particularly wacky though.

I mean, if you want to go with facts, and history, and maps, and stuff, sure... But from a vibe-geography standpoint, it's in North America.

Also Panama used to be part of Colombia and Panama is in North America so I think we can grandfather Colombia in as long as they're also willing to dig a trench across their country, or something.
