And totally ignoring all the problems with projections, ellipsoids etc our round world geography brings. I've been faced with such problems recently when starting my research of GIS (geographical information systems). Basically, the overlay allows us to choose any convenient distance...

Aw, come on: the Great Lakes are roughly at the same width as Cornwall. With the Sshorg coming in at El Nino temperatures, there is good cause for a warm southeast.

And: the width of the Wastes where? Pavis to Iron Forts?

Some sort of Gloranthan Greenwich, I suppose. Even though Magasta's Pool, City of Wonders and Kero Fin are exactly on the Gloranthan meridian (i.e. noon-line).
