How Does Germany Look on the Equal Earth Projection?
On traditional conformal world maps like Mercator, landmasses located near the equator are rendered visually compressed compared to polar and temperate regions.
The Equal Earth projection mathematically guarantees that Germany (357,114 km²) is displayed in exact visual proportion to every other territory on Earth without conformal area distortion.
Germany fits nearly 9 times into India and over 27 times into Canada.
