Earth: Land Area (1/9)

The blue planet as we know it. The total land area of the 200 territories depicted on the map is around 13 billion hectares. Divided up equally, that would be 2.1 hectares for each person. However, populations are not evenly distributed: Australia’s land area is 21 times bigger than Japan’s, but Japan’s population is more than six times bigger than Australia’s. The following maps shows how the world would look if every person would have the same space available. (Map: worldmapper.org)
