Franța a schimbat oficial harta lumii: Cum arată varianta „corectă”, cu SUA, Europa și Rusia mai mici și Africa mult mai mare

France has officially abandoned the Mercator projection in favor of a new map that better represents the true proportions of continents. This change reflects a broader initiative supported by the African Union to correct historical distortions in cartography. The new Eckert IV projection will show regions like Africa and South America closer to their actual sizes, while traditionally dominant regions will appear smaller. The UN is set to vote on a resolution promoting equitable global representation in maps, which could influence educational and official materials. This shift highlights the political implications of cartography and aims to address the symbolic diminishment of Africa in global perception.
