African Union has proposed a resolution to UN to replace the Mercator map with Equal Earth map, which represents countries’ sizes more accurately.
The resolution passed with 164 in favor, 1 against, 6 abstained.
One of the countries that abstained is Ukraine, as the proposed map had Crimea marked as neutral territory.
A political decision through and through. Two regions of Georgia are still controlled by Russia but didn’t get the same treatment.
