Start by entering the name of a country in the search bar. Once selected, a polygon representing the country’s exact shape and size will appear on the Google Map.

2. Drag and Compare Country Sizes

You can click and drag the polygon representing the country to move it around on the map. As you move it, the shape adapts to the Earth's curvature, showing its true size in relation to other countries on the map. This allows you to visually compare actual country sizes.

The tooltip also includes other essential details about each country, such as:

• Country's surface area
