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

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 :D
