The True Size of Australia 🇦🇺

The Greenland overlay really exposes how badly Mercator maps have been lying to my eyeballs 😂

Miles and miles of red dirt where nothing will grow and no water

“The Illusion of World Map – Biases" Presumably, this could be one of the convincing, logical theories for why the leading powers in the past, for their dominance, power, security, and prestige, designed maps that made their country look bigger than others, especially African countries altogether. In reality, these countries, under subjugation/colonial rule, remained larger than many then and now perceive. @TheEpicStats #worldmaps #power #prestige #security #dominance #countries

See how it gets more distorted the further away from the equator… It’s called Mercator

こちらのサイトですよね。便利に使わせてもらっているのだからURLも載せておくとよいかと。リスペクトは忘れずに。

it only fits in australia.

And 90% of the population live in 3% of the land space! We like the edges 😂 🏖️ 🏄 🏊‍♂️

My favourite view….

Yet, the population of Australia is only about equal to the city that I live.

I feel like a sweet unanticipated side benefit of finally figuring out String Theory will be flat maps finally showing accurate country size.

That's how big a continent the British stole from the Aborigines.

@theepicmap Australia is gay

Such an info coming from this page is weird. You completely ignored the Mercator projection rule.

Shame 95% of it is an uninhabitable hellscape.

Problem is… the Earth is not flat. Well, that’s what most intelligent people believe.

love how its get so insanely big when going over Greenland, as maps always project greenland as super huge when its only 2 million sq(area).

メルカトル図法の地図では、グリーンランドの方がオーストラリアよりも数倍大きく見えます。 実際の面積: オーストラリア（約769万㎢）は、グリーンランド（約216万㎢）の約3.5倍の面積があります。

95% percent of Australia isn't populated by people, or sparsely populated. It's just a desert with beaches and coastal populations. Just shows size doesn't matter.

I’m not sure V what the point is, here in Australia we all know it already, you over there have not idea of the truely bleak terrain in 80% of it… The land will eat you alive mate, the vultures and rabid kangaroos will be picking the bones out, mate… You should move here…!

that is completely incorrect, because it does not take into account map projection techniques.

should be able to sustain 1.5bazillion jeets.

The usable land is reflected by the populated areas. Vast amounts of vacant land in the majority of the county. Beautiful coastal regions vast deserts.

It’s basically the whole of Europe pretending to fit inside one

If Australia became anglo centric again and started developing the entire country they could easily be the worlds next superpower.

All that land just for white people to live there💔

It's massive, go to the outback and you can see for fucking miles.

It’s also the same size as New Zealand! @bestfilmeverpod

У людей есть данные по площади всех стран, никто не ориентируется на карту, чтобы сравнить эти площади. Такие глупые видео бесполезны.

Lots of undiscovered creatures in that outback

@theepicmap Best fit for Australia, North Africa, all desert too!

Wow I had no idea, I thought it was smaller.

なお、利用可能な土地の広さ…

Southern hemisphere countries are always underestimated cos the earth is flat. Go figure

Just shows how inaccurate our maps and globes are.
