North American truck vs the same truck sold in the rest of the world
I also have a size comparison issue that I blame on Marcator, just south of my equator
Is Greenland scaled by its own latitude, or by the latitude of its country, Denmark? Which scale is Denmark scaled to? Same question with alaska/ the US
Greenland wtf
Africa a shower, not a grower.
Just take a globe.
It still bothers me a bit that the relative size still uses Mercator shapes.

Even if you know about it, it is insane to see this visually. Damn
Brazil looking bigger than ever
The islands moving around Antarctica are weird
