An overlay map for countries of the world to compare sizes. Fun maybe useful.

Very interesting!
Pick a country and move it up north. You will see the big distortion a Mercator map causes.
That’s a fun site - it really does help reframe things a bit.
I thought we played this game already? I remember Taiwan and Belgium being comparably sized.

Is there a convenient way to do this with city maps?
Nothing that does this precisely that I know of.
This is good but you need to use the cities they list.

This works for pretty much all cities but the overlap is rather ugly.

I like this resource - you need to zoom to really understand relative size but it’s good for when I’m comparing cities that I’m familiar with already.
