"A deliberate declaration of cartographical independence from the domination of the Northern Hemisphere intellectuals who control the mass education and mass media institutions in the Southern Hemisphere through their stooges. [Point 2] This incisive image literally flips the world upside down to present it from the slightly warped perspective of its creator - The Wizard of New Zealand, aka Ian Brackenbury Channell. Earth is shown on Mercator's Projection (a deliberately imperial choice) and is divided into three sections - the Old World (Europe and Asia), the $Free$ World (The Americas) and The New World (Oceania). Broad geopolitical generalizations are made with the national borders, each colored and labeled in a fashion reminiscent of maps of the British Empire. Seven points reflecting a combination of the map's content and the Wizard's personal views are listed along the bottom of the page, characterized nicely by #6: THE NEW WORLD MAP is the first to be published which represents the world the right way up. The verso provides in in-depth cosmological explanation of "The Wizard's Inside - Out Universe". Published in Christchurch around 1980 by the Imperial British Conservative Party, a farcical political party founded by the Wizard in 1974."
