otherwise they might display at twice the size of the screen. Likewise, I had to scale down some of the massive countries such as Russia, Canada, Brazil, etc. I had to artificially increase the size of some of the smallest countries such as Monaco and Andorra, otherwise they might be only a pixel in size. Having said that, I did have to fudge some of the sizes of the countries in the game due to the shear range of sizes from the smallest to the largest. You can also so that Greenland on my map is only half the height of Greenland on the mercator projection map. I actually had to stretch my map’s image vertically by 160% to get Canada’s height to match the mercator projection. You’ll see my map of North America from Stack the Countries on the left doesn’t stretch quite like the actual mercator map. After looking at actual mercator projection maps, the maps from Stack the Countries don’t appear to be quite so exaggerated.
