Can you guess the real size of each country on the new world map?

Comments

1. Islag: Sweden looks way bigger than I thought until the transformation - still not sure I fully trust the Mercator projection
2. Diego: love how this map finally shows some honesty, always thought Africa was getting robbed on the old Mercator
3. Mirage Serpent: I love how this interactive map brings out the nuances of our world's geography - always knew Kenya was a giant compared to tiny Sweden but this projection makes all the difference
4. Cleo: what's wrong with a little cartographic honesty though? I miss equal earth for actual geography lessons
5. Solar Echo: yeah but have you seen how sweden just steamrolls kenya on those projections? like no contest
6. Brunof: that Kenya's so much smaller than I thought, but Sweden, huh?
7. Ravia: love the equal earth projection, finally seeing Europe and North America in perspective 😊
8. Miasantosxo: kenya and sweden actually have similar coastlines but kenya's much smaller in reality
