Interactive map comparison

About True Country Size

True Country Size is a map tool for comparing real-world outlines across different parts of the globe. Select a country, state, territory, or region, then drag its outline over another location to compare shape and scale.

The app uses public geographic datasets and a Mercator map view, which means the background map visually stretches areas near the poles. The draggable outline helps make that distortion easier to inspect.
