Need to cure your immappancy? Here’s an interesting visual from Kai Krause demonstrating just how big Africa really is. Large enough, in fact, to contain, well… just about everybody else. What inspired him to create this?

A survey with random American schoolkids let them guess the population and land area of their country. Not entirely unexpected, but still rather unsettling, the majority chose “1-2 billion” and “largest in the world”, respectively. 

Yikes! See the large version here.
