If you think that’s impressive, just look at the size of Spain compared to Spain
Wow, it covers Spain almost entirely
Man, the mercator projection really messes up the perspective, I never would have guessed!!
What are those rectangle territories on the top left?
Those are just decoration
I’ll assume you’re joking but funnily enough, there is piece of Spain in France:
That’s so Spain to just leave an exclave in France

Can’t believe Portugal is nearly the same size as Portugal
They are completely different colors, however. 🤔
Red Portugal is best Portugal
The Portugal she told you not to worry about
Oooh, I’m a rebel just for kicks, now
You’re the man
Communist Portugal.
Our Portugal 🇵🇹
Soon mler.
They would be the exact same size if Portugal didn’t have that Lisboa sized gap by its western border
Holy shit, I don’t think you can just go around saying “Lisboa sized gap,” wtf.
My apologies
A lisboa shaped gap
There is no one accepted standard for a Lisboa. All Lisboas are beautiful in their own right.
A large Portugal the size of a small Portugal.
Portugal 🇵🇹 does get the morning light tho
Umm doesn’t it get the beautiful sunsets?
Can you put Portugal A little to the left so I can see Spain better?
This might be my favorite shitpost of all time haha
I don’t get it. The joke is “haha it’s actually not a misleading projection”… ?
Mercator’s deformation show up when you move countries north/south. Since Portugal only moved slightly East the apparent size basically didn’t change. (You can even see and compare real Portugal just left of the red projection)
Right. The reason I don’t get the post is that I thought everyone would know and see this ^
I feel like this post is taking a picture of a cube, calling it a cube, then I’m supposed to doubt that it’s a cube. Which I wouldn’t…
That’s right, it goes in the square hole
Well not exactly because it’s still a misleading projection, because Spain is also incorrectly projected given how far north it is
I meant misleading in a relative sense. In any case, this post makes no sense to me.
The mercator projection really oversells the size of portugal. If you ordered a large pizza you’ll have to eat it outside of the country.
So true, it fits on my phone screen. A large pizza definitely wouldn’t fit.
Damn that’s a good shitpost.
Has anyone played worldle?
This Azores erasure will not stand.
So thats why the Portuguese description on products is always smaller than the Spanish one!
Jamón presunto
#mapsWithoutNZ
The artist should’ve gone full 🤪
I went through like three full thought cycles before realizng this was a shitpost. Good job.
This is surprising to a lot of people because everyone is used to seeing mercator projection maps, which skew the true size of countries
What I would like to know is how big it is compared to Iberian Peninsula.
me lo voy a robar
do NOT steal Portugal!!
