Because my furry oc's needed a separate world, I guess.
More islands soon, this is mostly just the mainland.
Climates, color, and maybe topography soon-ish

To celebrate we've been looking back at The Renaissance in Astronomy exhibition we hosted with in 2012 to mark the 500th anniversary of the birth of the great cartographer, Gerard Mercator. Worth a trip down memory lane: https://t.co/BJBY2XtehU

shown rotating in the Mercator projection. Catalan tiling dual to omnitruncated {3,3}.

The edge coloring suggests another way to look at this tiling... as a triple compound of two tetrahedra and a cube. Thank you for input on this one!
