The function that we bloggers are focused on is how many visitors from each country visit our blogs. I sincerely doubt that most of the 58 million of us care which map projection used or indeed if a map is presented there at all, as we aren't using it to calculate longitudes and latitudes for navigation purposes. All we want to have is the numbers.

I suggest that you replace the Mercator projection used in the map on http://wordpress.com/#!/my-stats/ by another projection because the Mercator projection is an instance of Euro-centrism. See my article http://asifoscope.org/2013/01/07/maps/ for the reasons why I think so.
Kind regards
Nannus
