Swap the equirectangular projection for Equal Earth on the Peers world map. The static land SVG is regenerated in the same projection and the pins are fitted by height so both stay aligned at every size.

Why
The Peers map uses an equirectangular projection, which stretches everything near the poles sideways. Greenland, northern Canada and Russia take up far more of the map than they should, and peers in Europe or the US read as further apart than peers near the equator which makes latency differences counter-intuitive (jk, nobody can see that, just my OCD the sizes are off).
