Description
So I was yeeting around in freecam-mode, and I realised what a treasure it would be to flip the world-side down, or as my Ozzie friends tell me: the right way round. Now this may or may not have actually been the brainchild of excessive alcohol consumption, and some other mind-altering substances, but whatever the case, it's here, and I can't stop you from downloading it since it would be too much effort to click the delete button, so you might as well enjoy experiencing the cultural-richness of 'Ozzie Physics' and the psychedelic pleasure of having your world literally turned upside-down!

Literally everything is propa, so Trade-routes, position data, ports, units, straits etc are all absolutely perfectly mapped as they should be, so a true flipped world this be.

Compatibility
- Eh, graphics mods that change the colourmap files are a no-no, unless you're brave enough to flip-em 'round again in the image editor of your choice, or I decide for some inexplicable reason to make a compatch for whatever graphics mod is hot stuff because it's not actually hard at all.
- Also ima just say this right now IT"S NOT COMPATIBLE WITH EXTENDED TIMELINE WHY WOULD YOU EVEN THINK IT IS?!!, and I ain't gonna do anything 'bout it unless I get threatened at gunpoint, and even then I'll probably just hack steam in my final moments so that ET finally gets the Ol' Yeller treatment I subjectively think it deserves because I haven't played it since 2015 and I am being extremely bigoted rn and it's probably decent at this point I should probably just stop typi
- so yeh, as you might be able to infer from above, mods which add provinces, change the heightmap(like BT, or MEIOU), or add/edit tradenodes are a no-go, since everything will be messed up even if you somehow manage to get past the loading screen wtf how did you even do that

That said, saves are cross-compatible between vanilla and this mod, so if you fancy plaguing the subreddit with upside-down Byz runs, you dont have to endure multiple vomit-ebducing sessions to do so!
Credits
- Discord user Alexandmoew made this super-cool program with source-code that allows you to parse and edit province position coordinates, which basically made this mod possible cause I ain't manually changing 160,000 individual numbers to match their new coordinates/rotational data, so ye good stuff my man
- Abraxis of Imperialism Reinvigorated christened this mod, so that's pretty cool

Other Stuff
- I actually originally made this concept in Beyond Typus, if you want to check that out Here, cause It's infinitely better than Vanilla, without any of the cpu-draining stuff of other overhaul mods, thousands more provinces, and it's got proper smart people who overly obsess about getting stuff 'propa', so you don't have to deal with any of the ahistorical provinces Paradox seems to think it can get away with adding. So basically, it's got my vote.
P.S. I mean, just look at the difference in zoom-ability(?) aesthetic-ness(!?) between Vanilla and those screenshots I used for the BT addon! And I had my graphics setting turned down to minimum for them!

- A more 'true-to-the-name version, which actually flips the map verically, can be found Here, and a crazy-cursed horizontal version Here

THIS MOD IS NOT IRONMAN COMPATIBLE! I'm sorry, but I cant make this ironman-compatible due to the checksum being tied to multiple essential files for this concept to work.
