Political World Map Poster, Countries and Capitals, Equal Earth Projection

The world with every country named, at its true size, printed and delivered to your wall. 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 labelled political edition of the CartoClear Equal Earth map in ivory: warm ground, sand-coloured land, charcoal small caps. A calm reference map for the study, hallway, office and classroom.

Also available in charcoal & petrol (dark) and as a colourful kids edition — see the shop.
