Compare Countries With This Simple Tool

Drag and drop countries around the map to compare their relative size. Is Greenland really as big as all of Africa? You may be surprised at what you find! A great tool for educators.

    Trump should move the USA up north, so it truly becomes great. Maybe that’s why he wants to buy Greenland.

    It’s hilarious when you slide a country toward one of the poles and it suddenly becomes larger than the entire planet.

      They should clip really, but it obviously doesn’t become bigger, stuff that’s off the map just doesn’t count…

    Even when knowing about this effect on maps I didn’t think Madagascar was larger than Sweden, that’s cool!

      It’s dwarfed by its ego, though.
