Prime Meridian

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.

Approx. lat. Country, territory or sea Notes
90°N Great Western Sea North 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.
