One of the most critical problems of the Mercator projection is that it distorts the territories' actual sizes.

As a result, Canada and Russia seem to take up almost 25 percent of the planet's surface, but these nations only own five percent. The map below presents the real size of all nations and dependencies by area.

The Mediterranean Sea is a sea almost wholly surrounded by land and united to the Atlantic Ocean. It comprises about 2.5 million square kilometers (970 thousand sq mi), but its connection to the Atlantic through the Strait of Gibraltar is only 14 kilometers (9 miles) wide. Below the map compared the Mediterranean Sea to North America. The Mediterranean Sea has an average depth of 1.5 kilometers (0.9 miles), and the deepest recorded point is 5,3 kilometer (3,3 miles) in the Calypso Deep positioned in the Hellenic Trench (Ionian Sea).
