Things I Think Everyone Should Know About
Doug S. Machina:
Worldmapper makes maps bent out of shape by statistics, with interesting results.
Bit of a dry entry (ahem), so I'll point to this:
The world's nations blown up according to the most scientific papers published.

Honestly, what surprised me the most about Khar's map is the sheer amount of desert in the world. Look at the giant chunk that sweeps through Africa, straight through Asia! I guess I didn't realize Asia was quite so desert-filled- even the regions I think of as relatively tropical, like Laos/Vietnam appear fairly dry.
Doug S. Machina:
The amount of desert is surprising, especially just how much of Africa is so dry. Also, I didn't realise Australia was quite so green.
Boro_Bandito:
Well I knew that the Sahara Desert is larger than the Continental United States, but to see it like that amazes me, plus the fact that on a normal wall map of the world Europe and Asia look a lot larger. On that map Africa is just about as big as both of them combined.
KharBevNor:
The Dymaxion map is 100% accurate. You only have to start distorting things when you want everything laid out all neat.
