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.

  • 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.
