On 9 July the Republic of South Sudan became the world’s newest country - instantly making the world’s atlases out of date. So here’s your new guide to the globe to pull out and keep

About our mapShowing a spherical planet on a flat piece of paper has troubled cartographers for centuries. We have used the Robinson projection, developed by Arthur Robinson in 1961 as a way of showing the entire world at once . The Mercator projection - first developed in

1569 - is still used by many online mapping services, such as Google, but it does not represent the earth well on paper. You would not be able to use this map to navigate across the planet but it still represents one of the clearest ways of illustrating the globe
