A Depiction Of The Actual Sizes Of Each Country. 

A depiction of the actual sizes of each country. 

The world map we tend to see has the sizes of each country ‘stretched’ the further away it is from the equator. 

This arises from the issue of trying to display a spherical object on a flat, 2D and generally rectangular projection. 

This results in the gross misrepresentation of sizes for countries such as Russia, Canada, Greenland and even the US.
