Since the whole epic drama is playing out on the surface of a sphere, and all

latitude and longitude measurements are really angles on the sphere, you can

never be more than 180 degrees away from any latitude or longitude that anybody

wants to name.

What is the greatest number of degrees anyone can be from the prime meridian?

The greatest number of degrees anyone can be from the prime meridian is 180 degrees. This is because the prime meridian itself is located at 0 degrees longitude, and the maximum longitude value is 180 degrees both east and west. Therefore, any location can be a maximum of 180 degrees away from the prime meridian.

Is thirty degrees west of the prime meridian the same number of miles as thirty degrees east of the prim meridian?

Yes it is, as long as you're talking about the same latitude in both cases. 30 degrees east or west of the Prime Meridian corresponds to 2071.2 miles along the equator. As you leave the equator and travel north or south, 30 degrees either side of the Prime Meridian shrinks steadily, and becomes zero miles at the poles.
