Comment on The True Size of Africa - Misleading Maps

Comments

Africa is big. The Sahara desert is also big.

But this whole "true size" is true in measure, but I'm not really comfortable with people using it to push their agenda

Yes, Africa is big, and?

Big countries (yes, Africa is not a country) are usually on the wrong side of the stick. Maybe the USA has the most usable land, but it's still costly for them

Asia is gigantic, where's its population? Concentrated into tiny spaces! Japan, Indonesia, a narrow stretch of India.

And um China.

Yes, in China it's concentrated on coastal areas mostly

It's concentrated in coastal areas pretty much everywhere.
