Every flat map lies. The only question is how. This tool shows you 10 different map projections, visualizes their distortions, and lets you drag countries across the map to feel the difference.
No projection preserves everything. Some keep shapes (conformal). Some keep areas (equal-area). Some compromise. Each tells a different story about the same Earth.
Data: Natural Earth (public domain). Projections: d3-geo + d3-geo-polygon.
