How to use it

Click any country to open its dossier. Its land neighbours light up in blue, so you learn the shape of a region rather than one country at a time.

Compare size lifts a country's outline off the map. Drag it over another and its true ground area is preserved — Mercator's distortion becomes visible instead of invisible.
