👋 Hi everyone! We built **[TrueSizeOfCountries.org](https://truesizeofcountries.org/)** because most of us grew up with world maps that quietly distorted reality. The Mercator projection made Greenland look huge and Africa look small — and that changes the way we *see* the world. This tool lets you drag and drop countries on the globe to compare their *actual* sizes — with a clean, modern, and multilingual experience. We’d love to hear your thoughts: * Which country comparisons surprise you the most? * How do you think distorted maps have shaped our perspective? Excited to share this project with the PH community 🌍✨
