Greenland bigger than South America. You try projecting a sphere onto a flat surface and see where it gets you Spoilers: --- Baby, I'm an engineer ;) I can calculate (within a reasonable margin of error) how this nut is gonna splash when it hits ya tiddies ... Copied to Clipboard!

It's a very good map display to highlight distance from the United States and for a nation that once fought a two ocean war. Not to mention that no area is actually cut, as there's considerable overlap on both edges to show the same areas twice anyway.

Greenland bigger than South America.The Mercator projection was intended to be used as a navigation chart. It's useful in a navigational context because straight lines on the chart correspond to great circles on the globe -in other words, the shortest distance between two points is the same either way- but sizes get distorted the further you get from the equator. The Greenland/South America problem you mention is one example, though Antarctica gets hit hardest of all (I suspect that this may be the origin of the "ice wall" BS that many flat-earthers go on about). Mercator wasn't supposed to be used as a general world map, but then some people decided that this size distortion could serve their own purposes. There are other map projections that don't have this kind of size distortion, but they make other tradeoffs in the process (for example, losing the correspondence between straight lines). What map you use depends on what you want to use it for. --- Sakurai did nothing wrong ... Copied to Clipboard!

That map has 2 Indias, 1.5 Chinas, 1.8 Kazakhstans and god knows how many Russias. I don't understand why you'd leave that much overlap in.
