I know some about sterea. It accepts exactly the same parameters as
stere. It is an (a)lternative to Snyder's oblique stereographic
implemented as stere in PROJ. It should be used for some (all?)
European oblique stereographic based coordinate systems, including
Polish Uklad 1965 zones 1-4 (100% sure; still not a perfect match but
within sub-cm accuracy compared to about-meter accuracy of stere),
Denmark, Romania (both AFAIK only, not sure, Others please speak up).
stere is for American.
