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!

You can now drag and drop whole countries to compare their size

TheTrueSize offers hours of fun while you stretch and shrink countries and states all over the globe.

Our world maps lie to us: North America and Europe aren't really that big and Africa really is much bigger.

It's all the fault of Mercator: even if the man himself wasn't necessarily Eurocentric, his projection is.

This interactive map tool reveals countries' true sizes without having to resort to the Peters projection.

Is Texas really bigger than Poland? Does Russia stretch further east to west than Africa does north to south? And how big a chunk of Europe would the U.S. cover? If you're losing sleep over questions like these, you'll find relief at TheTrueSize.com, a web tool designed to provide answers about the relative sizes of countries (and U.S. states).
