I’ve always noticed that Vietnam and Japan have strikingly similar shapes, so to illustrate it better, I moved Vietnam up next to Japan and tilted it a little.
Like many Asian nations during World War II, the Vietnamese were mistreated by Imperial Japan. Japan occupied French https://t.co/KEXpaGOKlo

In 1922, France created the https://t.co/fqphgqaBpL

For another US state-to-country comparison, I dragged West Virginia over to Europe, right next to Switzerland. Both places are rugged and mountainous with similar land areas (WV’s a bit bigger), yet Switzerland has 5 times the population of West Virginia! https://t.co/hRkCDc3Nay

Large map of Narva, Estonia's northeasternmost city, in 1925.
The Soviet occupation (1944–1991) led to the forced amputation of "Jaani eeslinn" (right of the river), which nowadays is still occupied by Muscovy.

Trinidad and Tobago is the highlighted country. They were originally two separate colonies until the British unified them in 1889. The country became independent in 1962—later becoming a republic and cutting ties with the British monarchy in 1976 (though it remains a member of https://t.co/YyAm01dXCN

To get a better perspective on how ridiculously long Chile is, here it is tilted on its side and overlaid across the lower 48 US. While it averages only ~110 miles in width, it’s ~2,653 miles long. Chile reaches from the California coast all the way to poke into New England! https://t.co/JzJkUVET8i

It’s crazy to see how much more packed some parts of the world are. Compared to England, my home state of Kentucky isn’t too far apart in land size, yet England manages to fit over 12 times the population into that space! https://t.co/2POHJwnmKa

Russia is huge, but not *that* huge.
This shrinks it down to true scale.
It's still the largest country on earth by land area. This is just another example of how badly the Mercator projection distorts our maps. https://t.co/EF5fl4INDn

The Mercator projection distorts maps by inflating the size of landmasses the farther they are from the equator. With Greenland and Venezuela in the news lately, they serve as great examples of this distortion! https://t.co/PChrKraRXF
