New life goal: Go to the poles, find the ring that is mapped to-scale, and color it. Require all satellite maps to be modified to add this stripe of color.

"there is a ring around the poles which is the same size on the map" - in standard Mercator projection 1m wide map would need to be kilomenters if not thousands km high to show 1m ring on poles. Usually cutout is at 80-85 latitude {{unsigned ip|162.158.102.110|12:12, 26 March 2024}} | "there is a ring around the poles which is the same size on the map" - in standard Mercator projection 1m wide map would need to be kilomenters if not thousands km high to show 1m ring on poles.

The latitude band would actually be one Earth's radius (6,378 km) high on the map. {{unsigned ip|172.69.223.158|12:36, 26 March 2024}} | The latitude band would actually be one Earth's radius (6,378 km) high on the map. {{unsigned ip|172.69.223.158|12:36, 26 March 2024}} | ||

:Someone's building the world at 1:1 in Minecraft, does that count? Additionally, 1:1 maps of smaller things certainly do exist, though these are more usually called mockups or engineering diagrams. A 1:1 map of a mall was used in Better Call Saul to plot a heist, and sometimes historical sites have 1:1 maps of buildings and streets to show where they were once located.
