The interesting thing about a true mobius strip is that there are 
"congruencies" between certain points.  To the normal person living on 
the strip, it appears just to be a cylinder.  But to someone with 
advanced technology it may be possible to pass (dig, teleport) through 
the strip to end up on the other side.  This amounts to a move of

   x += map.xsize / 2
   y = map.ysize - y

which is kindof cool.  I'd imagine that cities would build tunnels 
through the strip to allow easy travel.  Somehow I imagine that this all 
ties in to a scientific expalation for MoM's dual-map system.  Or maybe 
not...
