So I was watching The West Wing on Netflix, when the episode "Somebody's Going to Emergency, Somebody's Going to Jail" comes up. During it, CJ interviews some guys who want the map used in schools changed to the Peters Projection, instead of the Mercator one used today.
I never knew the map I had been looking at all this time was wholly inaccurate when it came to the actual sizes of the continents and countries.
(Top one is Mercator, bottom is the Peters Projection)
