Map of Kerbin with all continents connected

I decided to make a map of Kerbin which uses an oblique equal area projection to fit all the landmasses into a single map with realistic areas, although with some distortion of shape and angle. I thought it turned out pretty well. Really shows how the landmass is actually connected as one big continent.

This map is mostly for things like showing territories on a map or feeding into game map generators or maybe drawing movement of long journeys with a rover or whatnot. Sort of like an AuthaGraphic map although the projection is not the same as an AuthaGraphic map but is more like a close cousin of the Gall-Peterson projection. This does mean it's a bit more distorted than AuthaGraphic, especially at the top and bottom edge where the distortion of shape quickly approaches infinity, but it's also easier to understand where that distortion actually is.
