Political World Map with Countries and Capitals, Equal Earth Projection

The world with every country named, at its true size. 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 labelled political edition of the CartoClear Equal Earth map: all countries with their names, over 150 capital cities, the oceans and major seas, a fine 15° graticule, and the projection and UN endorsement named on the sheet. Warm ivory ground, tan land, charcoal lettering in classic small caps: a calm reference map for the study, the hallway, the office and the classroom.
