I discovered this series of maps a week ago and was pleasantly surprised. Accuracy of projection always played an important role for me. And although I noticed that the borders in EqualA are not quite perfect, it is still better than WorldA thanks to a single projection. So I made a map of Europe in 1942 using QGIS.
Note: this was made on standart borders, so it can be incorrect in different places like Ticino in Switzerland etc.

Woah, this exists.
I've been wanting to make a new basemap recently (or more accurately, start the work on it)
Equal Earth seems like a good projection, so may I ask, is there a map size you want?
I barely know anything about this project anyway so I don't know what map sizes already exist.

I believe that we don't need more basemaps, we need to have more historic data on maps like EqualX with a single existing projection.
Existing projection allows you to do a bunch of things using GIS tools, and they will be much more accurate than anything we have on qbam and worlda with their cursed projections.
The problem is that once upon a time people created qbam probably without access to GIS tools, and amateurs, for lack of an alternative, made many content on it. That's why we can't switch to new maps right now.
Sorry if I've worded it wrong, but I meant that I was planning to start an EqualX basemap, maybe EqualC since it is practically non existent.
