In case folks didn't realize, many African countries are REALLY big.
1. Nigeria over USA
2. California in Africa

Also, India is huge. It would stretch from the tip of Florida up to Nova Scotia, and almost to Newfoundland! 😮

And as always, DO NOT underestimate the amount of ice in Antarctica and Greenland. Combined, they are bigger than USA, Mexico and the rest of Central America combined.

I'd really like to keep them from melting and flooding my home.

Back to Africa.

Angola + Democratic Republic of Congo (Zaire when I was a kid), are H U G O R M O U S!

Finally, the more moderate sized South Africa... is still pretty big, stretching from NYC to Chicago to Atlanta. @thetruesize #SouthAfrica #mapprojections

Note: Nigeria is 36% bigger than Texas.
