0.83m square miles. It looks about the same size as South America (6.9m) so it’s an ~8x distortion, but still quite big in absolute terms. About 2/3 of India. 1.27m. If global warming makes India uninhabitable but melts Greenland ice cap making it habitable, sorta makes up 🤔

Antarctica is huge! 5.4m sq mi. Africa is 11.4, but Sahara desert is 3.5, so again potential for a bit of scooching over 🤔🤔

Our sense of geography is seriously messed up due to projection distortions and habitability. India is only 50% bigger than Greenland but probably 1000x more habitable

The world would have a much stronger Super Mario vibe were are the countries named after what they actually looked like + "land" Afghanistan -> Rockland Portugal -> Sunnyland Brazil (Amazon) -> Humidland France - Gourmetland England - Fogland
