The characters for Japan literally mean sun and origin. And has been in use since the 8th century. So the Mercator projection has nothing to do with that. The origin of "land of the rising sun" is because Japan is East of China and the sun rises in the east.

Attention moderators and admins! Risk of "zombie" communities on remote instances (and how to avoid)
Not really understand the point you are trying to make. This post is about communities on dead instances. Dead as in the host has stopped hosting it. Those communities will not ever federate again. So if you post in such a community from your own instance, it will not federate to other servers. It also causes issues with moderation.
Most of the communities on those dead instances have moved to other instances. And people should use those instead of trying to use the dead instance community.
I also remember something like it around that time. There were definitely a few YouTubers playing it against eachother. Iirc you could see all the other player viewpoints, but not your own.
