    Maps scaled correctly really put a nation's size into perspective.

    Nine out of ten concerns are completely unfounded.

    lol denmark is a village no wonder they are into youtube and abroad (that is justified)
    Finland,Sweden and UK head to head but their populations 5million vs 10 million vs 66 million
    This makes Finland so empty. (there are so many lakes as well not all of them land mass)


    soon enough
    WE WILL FUCK YOU UP 85million vs 110 or something it's getting close...no wonder why you are in Ukraine now.

    The north isn't small, it's just that Africa is huge. You can check it by looking at a globe with the countries, for example on Google Earth. A 2D representation will always be distorted.

    Africa, roughly 30 million sq km, Russia, 16 million. Those nations closer to the equator on our standard mercator map are represented relatively accurately. Surely you didn’t believe Russia or Scandinavia or Greenland were that large?
