What is Compare Country Size?
Use our free interactive map size comparison tool to compare the actual size of any country. Try it now and see how big each country really is!
Problem
Users traditionally rely on standard 2D maps (e.g., Mercator projection) to compare country sizes, but these maps distort the actual size of countries, especially near the poles, leading to misconceptions (e.g., Greenland appearing larger than Africa).
Solution
An interactive map tool that lets users overlay countries on a single map to compare their true sizes accurately, using a distortion-corrected visualization method. Example: Compare Brazil vs. China with real-time scaling.
Customers

Unique Features
Uses an equal-area projection to eliminate Mercator distortion, enables side-by-country overlays, and provides instant visual size comparisons with geopolitical boundaries.
