There isn't any "projection" as such. Actually, GRASS in general
doesn't really have much to do with projections; most operations work
on abstract coordinates, without regard to whether they are degrees,
metres etc.

When it comes to displaying data, GRASS maps coordinates to pixels
such that the current region just fits within the active display frame
while preserving the aspect ratio.
