The game map and the real map: what EU5 simplifies, sentence 9

A flat map of the round Earth always stretches some places, and the common Mercator map makes Greenland look as big as Africa, though Africa is about 14 times bigger.

Who acts: flat map, common Mercator map, Greenland, Africa · What happens: stretch, make, look, be · To what, where: places

This is a sentence of the lesson «The game map and the real map: what EU5 simplifies» of the geography course of Mova's primary school. The page gives its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies — and its pragmatics clause by clause: who acts (flat map, common Mercator map, Greenland, Africa), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.
