Really makes you think.
Smaller on the map, bigger on the heart and much older nation and state. Portugal nunca será Espanha.
So thought-provoking… and by that I mean thoughts like "why did I waste 5 seconds even looking at this?” or "why do I write this comment?”
And yet, here you are…
Title misleading. Should read: the size of Portugal compared to THE SIZE of Spain.
Now compare it to Portugal.
Damn, it’s really time we got rid of the Mercator Projection.
Very helpful, thanks a ton.
SHOCKED!!! Who knew Spain was soooooo much larger. WTF universe, why you messin’ with me!
Yet, Portugal is beautiful country.
The side-by-side comparison wasn’t accurate enough?
Well we wouldn’t want the distortion of a Mercator projection to mislead us now would we
I know you’re joking but in case it isn’t obvious to everyone: A move in only longitude, as on this map, is not influenced by mercator projections distortion
no
