About New World Size

New World Size is a free, interactive Equal Earth projection map — the projection the United Nations adopted for its official world maps in 2026. Our goal is simple: let anyone see the world at its true size, and compare it against the old Mercator map that shaped how generations of people misjudged country sizes.

What you can do here

Where the data comes from

Country shapes come from Natural Earth (public domain). Areas are computed from that geometry using the equal-area math of the map itself, so the numbers you see match what you see. No accounts, no ads, no tracking pixels — the map is the product.
