If you Google ‘world map’ (in English), England is at the center of the map. But if you Google ‘mapa del mundo’ (in Spanish), Spain is at the center of the map.

    world maps always have the country it’s meant to be sold in in the centre

    Kinda a false assumption. There is no “The” map. There are maps. They can center around anything.

    you made me curious so I checked it. What are you high on?

    I checked Spanish, Hindi and German and in each of them, the UK was at the centre of the map and not Spain, Germany and India respectively.

    Unless you are specially searching for maps centred on other places, I doubt you would find them at the top of google searches.
