Prime Meridian on Micras

The Prime Meridian is the longitude which has been designated as a zero line. On the claimsmap version 8.0.1, the longitudes were introduced, which determined the prime meridian. From this line are the longitudes measured at 0° to 180° east and to 180° west. Both the Pallisican Scientific Standard Calendar and the Coordinated Micras Time count their time zones from the prime meridian.

List of passages

On Micras, starting at the north pole and heading south to the south pole, the prime meridian (according to claimsmap 17.6.1) passes through:
