Colourful World Map Poster for Kids, Countries and Capitals, Equal Earth

The world with every country named, at its true size, printed and ready for the nursery or classroom. On 4 September 2026 the UN General Assembly adopted the “Correct the Map” resolution by 164 votes to 1 and recommends the equal-area Equal Earth projection instead of Mercator, which shows Greenland as large as Africa although Africa is about 14 times bigger. This poster is the colourful political edition of the CartoClear Equal Earth map: every continent in its own friendly colour, clear borders, easy-to-read names. Kids learn the world the way it really is.

Also available in ivory (light) and charcoal & petrol (dark) — see the shop.
