Did You Know Standard World Maps Have Been Lying To You? --- Heritage Times HT Because of the Mercator Projection, Greenland appears roughly the same size as Africa on most maps, but Africa is actually 14 times larger. In fact, Africa is so vast you could fit the United States, China, India, Japan, Russia, and all of Europe inside it, all at once. Cartography is never neutral. Shrink a continent on paper for long enough, and you shrink how the world perceives its power, its scale, and its place at the table. That's not just design, that's geopolitics.
