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. 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:

Anti-Meridian

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