So we're moving to a new, more spacious soon, and I want to have **a political world map covering an entire wall**. That's been [a desire of mine](pixelfed.de/i/web/post/2489394) for a while.

Does anyone know **a place online to order such a gigantic poster?** Or, do you know **where I could find a very high-res of the world** that I can chop, print, and stick on the wall piece by piece?

(I live, and will continue to live, in the metropolitan area, .)

@tripu If you're willing to go the trouble, laser cutting and engraving mdf or plywood sheets with separate continents should be quite inexpensive (esp. If there's a maker space nearby), then you can glue or double-side tape to the wall (being careful with contiment positioning), also quite aesthetically pleasing :)

Hum, thanks for the idea. I'm sure that would be a fun project, but I want to have detailed political and geographical data on the map.

@tripu My pleasure, whatever you do -- please avoid Mercator projection in favor of something more modern (and in a way, geographically representative)! I think it's particularly good to have equal area (unless you specifically and transparently want to focus on a certain region). I think a Lambert azimuthal map would look really cool, although for more traditional Winkel III (chosen by National Geographic) is also nice. #map
