    Is this geographically correct? Since most world maps dont show countries true size in comparison with others

    Le edit:

    Chile: 756,096 km² (291,930 mi²)[1]

    Great Britain: 209,331 km² (80,823 mi²)[2]

    HOLY KEK, NOT EVEN CLOSE, BBC IN SHAMBLES RIGHT NOW!!

    When you look at a geographical-area corrected map like the Gall-Peters projection, you see why euro-american countries and cartographers are so opposed to it.

    Maybe their notion of thin is informed by the gap between their teeth
