Colourful Political World Map for Kids and Classroom, Countries and Capitals

A friendly, colourful world map that is also correct. On 4 September 2026 the UN General Assembly voted 164 to 1 for the 'Correct the Map' resolution, recommending the equal-area Equal Earth projection in place of Mercator, which shows Greenland as large as Africa although Africa is about 14 times bigger. This is the classroom edition of the CartoClear Equal Earth map: every country in one of six soft pastel colours (neighbours always differ), all country names, over 150 capitals, oceans and major seas on a light blue sea, a fine graticule and the projection and UN endorsement named on the sheet. For children's rooms, playrooms, classrooms and homeschool walls.
