The United Nations General Assembly supports wider use of “equal-area maps” so that the sizes of continents look closer to reality.

Many common world maps use the Mercator projection.

This type of map was helpful for sea navigation in the past, but it enlarges areas near the North and South Poles and makes areas near the Equator smaller.

As a result, Europe and North America look larger, while regions such as Africa appear smaller.
