TrueSize.net is an interactive map that allows you to compare the true size of countries and regions around the world. You’ve probably played with 'true size' maps before but TrueSize.net goes far beyond other 'true size' maps - t’s a fully fledged platform for exploring the real scale of countries, regions, and even historical empires.
Unlike most 'true size' maps that focus solely on modern nations, TrueSize.net also ventures into history, offering over 9,000 historical territories, including the USSR, the Roman Empire, and numerous medieval kingdoms. For anyone curious about how the world’s political geography has changed, this feature transforms the map into a living timeline of shifting borders and empires.
For example you can use the historical territories to compare the size of the Roman Empire at its height to Genghis Khan's 13th Century Mongol Empire. Or you could overlay the Aztec and the Inca Empires at their heights over the modern United States.
For advanced users, the platform also includes custom data tools that allow importing GeoJSON or TopoJSON files and exporting results after moving and resizing regions. This makes TrueSize.net not just a visualization toy but a serious tool for geospatial analysis, education, and storytelling.
