I wonder if I'm doing the [url] thing correctly

If that doesn't work: maybe [this](https://www.thetruesize.com) will work.
Or is it like (this)[https://www.thetruesize.com]?

You can "spawn" countries in (they're color-coded) and you can drag them around to "unstretch" them cause cause on most maps countries closer to the poles look bigger cause you're displaying a sphere on a 2d space so there's inevitable distortion.
And yk, you compare countries' sizes with each other.

BBCode is not Reddit Markdown.
To use [url​], write [url​=http​://www​.example.​com]text[/url], where ‘text’ stands for the words you would like to feature in the hyperlink: text.
Atlases often include diagrams like this, overlaying various important foreign countries, such as Japan or the USA, and also lakes over the country of origin. Because this is often overlooked, I will say in Mercator’s defence that it preserves all directions, which are the most important when navigating, intact.

I wasn't thinking Reddit but yeah, thought it was md.
So it's kinda like html. Thanks for the demonstration

This is actually neat for showcasing that Russia isn't quite as huge as world maps make it out to be. It's still an incredibly large country, but like. It's about the size of north Africa. Which... also showcases how comparebly small Africa is portrayed on world maps.
