Global map in a Geographic Coordinate Reference System.

How the page describes itself

Geographic vs projected coordinate reference systems - GIS in Python | Earth Data Science - Earth Lab

Geographic coordinate systems span the entire globe (e.g. latitude / longitude), while projected coordinate systems are localized to minimize visual distortion in a particular region (e.g. Robinson, UTM, State Plane). Learn more about key differences between projected vs. geographic coordinate reference systems.
