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

The map of Africa is much larger than most people think, but classroom maps underestimate this size due to the Mercator projection. On September 6, 2026, the United Nations General Assembly voted 164 to 1 to adopt a resolution promoting the Equal Earth projection, which shows continents in their true proportions. The United States was the only country to vote against this resolution, calling it a 'radical ideological project.'
