Projections: why Greenland looks huge, sentence 3

The EU5 map is flat too, so Scandinavia, Muscovy and the far north look bigger than they really are next to Africa or India; use a globe when you want true sizes.

Who acts: EU5 map, Scandinavia, you · What happens: be, look, use, want · To what, where: Africa, globe, true sizes
