Canada and Russia are big, but not as big as most people think: It's physically impossible to project the surface of a sphere accurately onto a flat surface. This fact turns into a serious problem when making maps - especially world maps. No matter what you do, your map will always depict either the countries' shape or the countries' size wrong. The so-called Mercator projection, which is the most commonly used projection type in present-day maps, gets the shapes of all the countries right but vastly exaggerates the size of the countries near the earth's poles. This map shows the actual size of the world's countries.

I love maps and admit to getting a kick out of being able to correctly identify countries, cities, geographic features, etc. This interactive map of Europe is a fun way to learn about where the various countries are. There are 46 countries (including city states) in total. I needed more than one guess for four of them and got one wrong after three guesses. See how many you can find!
