A picture of the Canadian province of Saskatchewan but stretched to It's maximum size to remain landlocked. Saskatchewan is shaped like a rhombus.

So, if its borders are straight lines in this projection, are they actually concave curves?

Edit: convex for the northern border.

    They follow lines of latitude and longitude so straight lines on a curved surface. It's slightly untrue on the Eastern border that looks like a jagged edge due to the dominion land survey. But it was meant to be straight.

    I suspected/assumed they were 'true' to the lines of latitude and longitude.

    The amusing projection in green makes it obvious that the map projection is taking some liberties ;-)
