     New globe! Instead of the puzzle-piece ? colors of a political boundaries, which destroys our conception of physical and cultural reality, this globe uses a Natural Earth-like basemap of colors on the ground.

     Tactile, so mountains are raised (not sure how accurate).

     It also has a light-up mode that shows you the political boundaries.
