On Mercator map projection, sure, but then we'd have to address that tyranny as well.
The argument for Florence Mean Time is that when you spread the map out, you get a nice split of the Pacific on either side. It's quite beautiful actually.
- Chuktoka isn't split and stays all together on the right side of the map - Zealandia all stays together on the right side, along with Samoa and Tokelau
It's also kinda poetic having the 'centre of time' being basically equidistant from Rome and Carthage.
