The list of national coordinate reference systems (CRS) lists map projections officially recommended for existing countries.Given that every projection gives deformations, each country's needs are different in order to reduce these distortions.
Cylindrical equal-area projection with standard parallel at the equator and an aspect ratio of π (3.14). 1910 Behrmann: Cylindrical Equal-area Walter Behrmann: Cylindrical equal-area projection with standard parallels at 30°N/S and an aspect ratio of (3/4)π ≈ 2.356. 2002 Hobo–Dyer: Cylindrical Equal-area Mick Dyer

The Fra Mauro Map of the world. The map depicts Asia, Africa and Europe, with South at the top.. The Fra Mauro map is a map of the world made around 1450 by the Italian cartographer Fra Mauro, which is “considered the greatest memorial of medieval cartography."
The World Geodetic System (WGS) is a standard used in cartography, geodesy, and satellite navigation including GPS.The current version, WGS 84, defines an Earth-centered, Earth-fixed coordinate system and a geodetic datum, and also describes the associated Earth Gravitational Model (EGM) and World Magnetic Model (WMM).
Below is a list of European countries and dependencies by area in Europe. [1] As a continent, Europe's total geographical area is about 10 million square kilometres. [2] ...
Modified transverse Mercator, a variation of UTM used in Canada with zones spaced 3° of longitude apart as opposed to UTM's 6°. Transverse Mercator projection, the map projection used by UTM. Universal Polar Stereographic coordinate system, used at the North and South poles. Open Location Code, a hierarchical zoned system
[1] [2] (The text is also available in a modern English translation. [3]) Lambert did not name his projections; the name transverse Mercator dates from the second half of the nineteenth century. [4] The principal properties of the transverse projection are here presented in comparison with the properties of the normal projection.
