Do You Know The True Size Of Countries?

The Mercator projection used on maps makes it difficult for people to actually understand the relative sizes of countries.

Not one of my best - but good quiz. Thanks for including the answers.

4 / 7. Not bad! Some tricky ones there! I really should have done better though!

I learned a lot about world geography here on Quizzclub and I even picked up drawing or cartography. It fascinates me. I've got maps everywhere in my home. Globes too.

Richard D. Boyle, Doh.

Greg Feitl, No you're wrong. USA is larger than China in total sq. mi. And I'm sorry if you're a Brit or Western European because I don't know what that is in meters.

Barcud coch, Nope, USA is the third largest in the world and it is approx. 91,000 sq. miles larger than China. U>S> 3,796,742 sq. mi. China> 3,705,407 sq. mi.

Interesting quiz. Thanks for answers.

The last time I looked China was a larger country than the USA. Maybe I should look again!

Did. Or get one right. Mortified!
