    It’s a lot smaller than I thought. There’s all that water in the middle that I always thought was land.

    Alternatively, for those of us more familiar with Australia, this is the a map showing the real size of the Mediterranean and surrounding countries.

    It’s misleadingly force fitted though. Europe and The Americas do not fit inside the perimeter nor area of Australia.

    Also, the Europe part of the map has cut of Sweden and Finland. I dunno if it’s supposed to show the NATO countries before thier inclusion, but it’s going to be pretty difficult to include Australia in the Eurovision Song Contest if you leave out the host and the actual winner from last year.

      I think I see what you’re seeing.

      All of the land forms are just Australia. A cutout of the Mediterranean Sea is slapped into the middle of the continent. The bottom looks a little similar to the Americas kinda, but that’s just coincidence.
