This projection distorts both area and direction, but preserves Melbourne.

I kinda think it should be flipped vertically, so that you have Florida in FNQ, and then NY/PA/MA running down NSW/VIC. Also get Texas for the NT, and Adelaide can be in Minnesota lol

Seems to match weather and politics a bit better, though idk if anything matches up on the west coast. Seattle for Perth? And would that make Broome San Francisco/LA? The US interior is a lot more noisy with states than Australia lol.
