A different way to split Eurasia into two parts.

(It has serious flaws, but the usual Europe/Asia split has serious flaws too; I've found value from keeping both models in my head)

One reason why this split is not super-crazy is that it reasonably follows population density maps, and the Indo-European language map:

Ooh, so let's talk about Africa! If you look again at the population density map, the Sahara desert is just as valid a divide as the Mediterranean. Also, north-of-Sahara mostly speaks Arabic, south-of-Sahara mostly doesn't. And in ancient times, interactions between north Africa and Europe were super-common.

Ooh, if we're re-engineering North-South splits, then:

1. Sahara as alternative dividing line: https://warpcast.com/vitalik.eth/0x83154910
2. The whole construct of "North America" containing US+Can+Mex but not the rest of Central America is dumb. US+Can makes sense. Can...Panama makes sense. US+Can+Mex does not.
