Needs["Miscellaneous`WorldPlot`"];
It doesn't seem to like exact values. Force use of inexact numbers (e.g., I
used 2. vice 2)
WorldPlot[World,WorldRange->{{-90,90},{-90,90}},
WorldProjection->({
2.*Cos[#1*Pi/10800]*Sin[#2*Pi/10800]/
(1+Cos[#1*Pi/10800]*Cos[#2*Pi/10800]),
2.*Sin[#1*Pi/10800]/
(1+Cos[#1*Pi/10800]*Cos[#2*Pi/10800])}&)];
