Not sure if the round one by Gleason that I found on amazon is what people believe in. My first question would be why is our North Pole at the center of the map, and the South Pole the perimeter/circumference of it? How did they come to that conclusion?
That's precisely the issue. No FE map can be created without horribly distorting confirmable measurements. So they generally map polar coordinates to a flat plane (distorting it) and hope no one notices, or they dodge the question of a map altogether. Either case they confirm they've never actually thought about it or are knowingly pushing propaganda.
Of course your question as to why a polar coordinate is the center of the map is always dodged too. Never mind, they are never willing to locate the edge and document the massive ice walls which surround the plane.
