The sheer size of that landmass boggles the mind. Pretty cool.

Modern globe projection don't do it justice. Cartographists are a bunch of racists. Here's a more accurate depiction (Peters projection) of the size of the world vs. the more popular Mercator projection:

Liberia isn't so bad. I hear it's basically their version of Mississippi.

Probably a better standard of living than Mississippi.

eta: South Africa is a legitimately developed country by any standard.

Very cool map. I was actually looking at a map of USA vs Africa last week but this one is way better with all of the other countries placed inside. Would have figured China was bigger proportionally than it is.

Here is one with Russia.
