The reason you get confused with the latitudinal comparison between North America and Europe is because we have the gulf stream providing warm currents in Europe, resulting in warmer climes relative to the equivalent North American latitudes.

You made my day with the Australia map; I needed a good laugh. Of course, a map of the human population would be pretty much the same, right? Maybe even more concentrated to the coast.
The reason why North America seems at a higher latitude than it really is is because Europe and Africa are generally hotter making them seem lower and us higher

Saying that you can argue over whether the mongol or British empire was bigger simply isn't true. The British empire at its height was FAR larger than the mongol empire (35.5m km2 vs 24m km2) so whether you consider control of the oceans or not Britain was the biggest.
