    With Mercator, it’s Africa’s countries that get squished down.

    But they remain perfectly visible due to how massive they’re to begin with. I don’t really see what the actual issue is.

      So, what you’re saying is that you don’t care about the Gambia? 🥲

      Part of me wanted to write something like Cambodia and see if you notice.

      But more serious answer:
      Personally, I fucking hate that I’ve been told incorrect information since young age. I wish every Mercator map had a warning like some countries have in their side mirrors.

      I also hate that it reinforces racist biases. But well, evidently you know the truth. And I do get being more interested in the countries in your region. Everyone is.

      So, TL;DR: Fair enough. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
