    <p>Well, east is east and west is west. Everything else can change.
      The map itself is drawn north-up, but northwest is still
      northwest. <br>

      <p>A flipped globe is certainly possible, given the map in <i>Plan[e]t
          Engineering. </i>It looks very much like a mirror-image South
        America. It didn't occur to me to see if it might be� a
        plausible "south-up" South America, but it doesn't seem so,
        especially since Wolfe's notation says "northwest area of the
