The Dymaxion map projection is created by projecting the globe onto a d20 and unfolding it in a particular way. It was created by Buckminster Fuller in 1954.
Instead of working this evening, I spent the night finding the best way to remap the standard d20 number layout back onto the map in a way that rewards the best places and gratifyingly hates on the bad ones.
It took a few attempts but I now feel privileged to unveil to you the totally objective and ideal d20 map of the world.

DYMAXION vs LEE TETRAHEDRON
Dymaxion Polyhedral Compromise
Round 1: [Dymaxion vs Stab-Werner]
Lee Conformal Tetrahedron Polyhedral Conformal
Round 1: [Lee Tetrahedron vs Equirectangular]
And the battle of the polyhedral projections is here!
Despite lacking in dynamicity, maximality, or tension, the Dymaxion has become very popular due to its low area and angle distortion, as well as its unique shape. The icosahedral net allows it to represent all the continents without any breaks, and as such has been used for things like maps of human migration.
Lee's tetrahedron uses a smaller platonic solid, which results in a much cleaner net, though does come with the downside that Antarctica is split in three in the north polar aspect. As it's represented as a triangle this projection can tesselate a plane, which means that its easy to move parts around to rearrange it into a better shape, such as CALM, a version of Lee rearranged into a conformal version of the Authagraph projection, or the Lee-Concialdi which is also in this tournament.

Artist born in 1981, Baghdad, Iraq. Lives and works in Arizona
Hayv Kahraman’s paintings are a refined confluence of cultures, an ‘otherworld’ where different pictorial traditions meet, and every picture tells a story. Intensely personal, her paintings are concerned with understanding the politics of tradition and gender. Born in Baghdad in 1981 during the Iran-Iraq War (1980–88), Kahraman spent her formative years in exile.
Kahraman’s early works range in their references from Japanese sumi-e painting, Arabic calligraphy and Art Nouveau.
Her figures are placed in seemingly impossible poses akin to circus performers or contortionists, attracting the voyeuristic gaze through an eroticisation and fetishisation of the ‘other’. Yet their faces stare plainly back at us; the gaze is tolerated.
Painting has become Kahraman’s place of protest (as much as it is her salvation). Women - grieving mothers, displaced and alienated girls - take centre stage in her pictures which represent, and therefore advocate for, those silenced by their gender, oppressed by politics or, through no fault of their own, caught up in the consequences of war.

The Dymaxion car was designed by American inventor Buckminster Fuller during the Great Depression and featured prominently at Chicago's 1933/1934 World's Fair. Fuller built three experimental prototypes with naval architect Starling Burgess – using donated money as well as a family inheritance – to explore not an automobile per se, but the 'ground-taxiing phase' of a vehicle that might one day be designed to fly, land and drive – an "Omni-Medium Transport". Fuller associated the word Dymaxion with much of his work, a portmanteau of the words dynamic, maximum, and tension, to summarize his goal to do more with less.

The Dymaxion map (top) was invented by Buckminster Fuller, and it makes me want to take a trip from Tierra del Fuego to the Cape of Good Hope.
The Cahill–Keyes projection (bottom) is just as accurate, and it provides comfort to someone who has stared at maps over the years.
