How very nationalist of you to assume America-centrism where it is completely irrelevant. The comparison that was in dispute was the size of Antarctica vs the size of the US. I was clarifying how to use the tool. You’re still using it wrong, and now you’re being a tool. lol

First sentence was a joke - hence "on a more serious note" for the next sentence. And if you think I'm using it wrong then, well, best of luck to you.

Why do you think the static grey map is in the background? The entire point of the tool is to overlay one nation upon one of the nations on the static map for accurate size comparison. It’s demonstrated clearly in the pop-up instructional video displayed when you first open the website.
