This is a bit crude! But not entirely wrong.
"Projections" can confuse your understanding of the relative size of various places. I couldn't do Alaska the same way as I did the others because of this.
Related... there are some fun graphics on the internet showing how many things you can fit into Africa.
In each of the following, there's a line. It is about 500 miles long.
(If you want to see how other countries compare, you might want to use this image of some gores for the creation of a globe. As a friend so elegantly put it, "Gores do not have to employ the geometric tricks required by planar cartography, and so can be quite handy in these circumstances.")
And now at a different scale!...
If you found this of interest, please mention in forums, give it a Facebook "like", or whatever. If you want more of this stuff, help!? There's not much point in me writing these things, if no one feels they are of any use.

Unlike the clever Google search engine, this one merely looks for the words you type, so....
* Spell them properly.
* Don't bother with "How do I get rich?" That will merely return pages with "how", "do", "I"....
Please also note that I have three other sites, and that this search will not include them. They have their own search buttons.
It's both! Flat-Earth-Academy.com is something I started years ago. For a variety of reasons, I can't offer you httpS:// access there. (As you are not asked to input any information, that's moot, but it "worries" search engines.) So I'm moving to my new, all singing, and will do the httpS:// dance site, "WYWTK.com", and Flat-Earth-Academy is gradually acquiring pages there. (Well, HERE, as what you are reading is one of my "wywtk/fea" pages.)
Why "WYWTK"? It comes from "What You Want To Know".
Page has been tested for compliance with INDUSTRY (not MS-only) standards, using the free, publicly accessible validator at validator.w3.org. It passes in some important ways, but still needs work to fully meet HTML 5 expectations. (If your browser hides your history, you may have to put the page's URL into the validator by hand. Check what page the validator looked at before becoming alarmed by a "not found" or "wrong doctype".)
AND passes...
