Mind-Blowing Fun Fact: Vietnam is way bigger than you think! 🇻🇳
👇If you look at a standard map (the Mercator projection), Vietnam looks like a tiny strip of land. That’s because the old map model stretches out countries near the poles (like Russia and the US) while shrinking countries closer to the equator.
🌍 But take a look at an Equal Earth map—which shows countries in their actual, true size relative to each other—and the reality changes completely!Vietnam’s total area is over 331,000 km²! 🤯
👉🏼 It is larger than Italy, the UK, or New Zealand.
👉🏼 It is over 3.3 times the size of South Korea.
👉🏼 Its unique vertical shape gives it 3 completely different climates and cultures at the exact same time!
