The Prime Meridian is complete in and of itself, with nothing missing.

It's only a semi-circle, however, which may, understandably, leave some with an

uncomfortable feeling of virtual incompletitude.

Those who feel that there's something inherently unsatisfying about a semi-circle

may join the Prime Meridian with the meridian of longitude at 180°, and thereby

arrive at a partnership that forms a true, complete, great circle on the Earth.
