The '''{{PAGENAME}}''' 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. The '''Anti-Meridian''' lies accordingly on the opposite side of the world, at ±180° east and west.

he Anti-Meridian touches no land, running only through the [[Great Western Sea]]. The nearest land is [[Hana'apui Island]], [[Çakaristan]], just shy of 180° west, followed shortly by the island of [[Lusa]], [[Mercury]], approximately 179.5° east. The nearest continent is the west coast of [[Benacia]], at just shy of 179.5° west, held by [[Batavia]] in [[Shireroth]].

Prime Meridian on Micras. The Anti-Meridian is the extreme left and right edges.
The underwater monument 'Middle Micras', placed at the junction of the Prime Meridian and the Equator.
Antimeridian Monument on Tui Island, placed on the only place where the antimeridian runs over land.

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. The Anti-Meridian lies accordingly on the opposite side of the world, at ±180° east and west.

Both the Pallisican Scientific Standard Calendar and the Coordinated Micras Time count their time zones from the prime meridian.
