Not too long ago (sorry, I am being lazy in finding the exact date), I made the casual observation that the commonly used world map is quite biased in its perspective.  It has something to do with the world being spherical in shape, with maps being only 2 dimensional.  Basically countries in the Northern Hemisphere look larger than they really are when visually comparing them to other nations.  For example, Greenland looks ridiculously large compared to Argentina.  More interestingly, Africa is much larger than one might think looking at a world map.

It would seem that the United Nations agree, and has published a world map that seeks to correct the above bias.

The point of this site originally taking note of this phenomenon is that the illegal immigrant tidal wave from Africa to Western Europe can easily overwhelm the tiny, thinly populated Western European nations.  When the UN and other Jewish groups are willing to call any African ‘migrant’ a refugee, the endless flow of migrants from the African continent has the ability to overwhelm the native populations of most nations — the new map makes for an easily understandable visual representation of that fact.
