The Northern Hemisphere
A reference map of the Northern Hemisphere on a polar projection, with the North Pole at the centre and Canada, Greenland, Europe, Asia and Africa labelled. It carries no slogan or appeal; the tag card-stacking is the closest fit only because any map selects a viewpoint and a set of features, not because the sheet makes a persuasive claim.
