Antarctica is a developing region? I had no idea :-D

Me neither, but apparently that's what in the data is.

However, this brings up a question that comes back every now and then: in which CRS should the tmap example data be stored? In tmap3, World was in Eckert IV, but in tmap4 (so far) World is in 4326 (WGS84). Do we need to implement a "smart" automatic CRS, that is optimised for that bounding box? @Nowosad I thought this has been discussed, but I couldn't find the related issue.
