Here’s a fascinating re-imagining of the world map, in which the countries with the world’s largest populations also occupy the spots on the map with the largest territory. So China takes over Russia’s spot, India moves into Canada’s current location, and so on.
Interestingly, only the United States (with both the third largest population and the third largest area) and Brazil (which lands at number five on both lists) remain in place—every other country gets relocated.
