- midasuni 3y agoEspecially the southern hemisphere, as their head is normally above the globe
- sltkr 3y agoHave you ever seen a globe? They are always tilted so you can easily view countries below the equator. Besides, 90% of the world population lives above the equator, so if there is a slight bias towards making the northern hemisphere more easily viewable, that's entirely justifiable. That includes 1.4 billion people living in India, another 1.4 billion living in China, etc.
