HanoiVillan Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 (edited) I was amused by the random placement of foreign cities though. 'Volgograd, Minnesota'. Edited October 9, 2020 by HanoiVillan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course there's variation in Russia for example, just as there is across North America where it's mapped onto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davkaus Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 You could be forgiven, having only looked at mercator maps, for not having any idea how countries relate to each other. Nigeria is 3-4 times bigger than UK in reality. On a standard map/globe...Eh...About the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
