Prime Meridian on Micras. The Anti-Meridian is the extreme left and right edges.

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.

List of passages

Prime Meridian

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:

Anti-Meridian

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

Approx. latitude Country, territory or sea Notes
90°N Great Western Sea North Pole
50°N just west of Benacia continent, as Batavia, Shireroth Shireroth
24°N just east of Lusa, Mercury Mercury
17°N between islands of Çakari Oceanic Territory, Çakaristan Çakaristan
0°N Equator
90°S South Pole



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.

Trivia

  • The Prime Meridian passes only over the continent of Apollonia.
  • The Prime Meridian passes the exact one-pixel space necessary to intersect Iselande twice, lending itself to the eponymous Prime Meridian Bay.
