    I was wondering. Since you can place your prime meridian anywhere, why not rotate it around a bit so none of your major continents (except for the one near the south pole) are cut off at the edges? That would look something like this:

    Nothing but a suggestion, and maybe there's something about that one loopy continent that makes it really important so you don't want to cut it up? I don't know. But other than that, I think this map is looking abso-effing-lutely gorgeous.

    This is pretty much my favorite compliment ever, so thanks for that

    You're also 110% right about the framing. In an earlier version no land masses were split and all was happy, but then I got the urge to start messing with tectonics and new continents came about and... well you see where we ended up. Now that I've likely exhausted my appetite for major changes, I'm going to do exactly what you suggest and rotate the whole thing so that no major landmasses get split.
