That projection is very distorted in terms of representing equal areas for features near the poles vs. near the equator. Veen's mapping is most distorted for the longitudes furthest from the center of the map, among other things. Any way you map the features of spherical shell to a flat surface, it'll never be perfect. Curivilinear coordinates are like food poisoning to most. It's nobody's fault. Hey, in other news, I heard that the flat-Earthers have gone global.
