* CriticalResearchFailure: While the Mercator Projection was once the standard map projection used in the United States, most schools (and Magazine/NationalGeographic) have moved on to more accurately-drawn projections, and the Gall-Peters Projection is hardly better as it's a similar square projection, just with a different way of projecting the round globe onto the square map. Moreover, in some ways the Gall-Peters Projection is actually ''worse'' than the Mercator Projection, as it does a much poorer job of preserving the appearance of the landmasses.
