Which world map projection allows comparing countries by shape and size? @whuber I am asking about a currently existing projection - one you can buy in the shop (e.g. like the mentioned Dymaxion), not about how much fun would there be in cutting and pasting ;) |

Which world map projection allows comparing countries by shape and size? Interrupted projections are ok as I only want to compare countries visually. The question that remains is which one gives the most uniform distortions. I think that in terms of mathematics we should be looking for a projection that maps a sphere onto a solid figure with the lowest standard deviation of an error. |
