How do I turn the poles from Azimuthal projections to equirectangular projection? Now, my question is, how do I project polar landmasses onto a cylindrical projection? The poles have been confirmed to be actual poles, not land masses near the poles, also shown in Legend of Korra, therefore confirming that the North and South poles are in fact projected in an Azimuthal projection. However, the map below shows the world as if it were on a flat plane, with the north and south poles being projected on an Azimuthal projection while everything else, from the looks of it, on a cylindrical Orthographic projection like the Mercator or the Equirectangular projection. It has been confirmed in the series itself that the world is spherical, from Legend of Korra. the four labels are just the characters for each nation, therefore they are unimportant. Here is the map for those unfamiliar, taken from the show's intro. I have very recently gotten into cartography and map projection, and I wanted to visualise the map from Avatar: The Last Airbender into a proper equirectangular map.
