U.S. Virgin Islands covers 318 km² km² on the new Equal Earth world map — 0.0%% of all land on Earth, making it the 203rd largest country in the world and the 25th largest in North America. At 18° latitude Mercator only inflates U.S. Virgin Islands by about 11%%, so the old and new maps largely agree on it — unlike the far north, where Mercator's stretch is dramatic.
