Fun article. Surprised it doesn't mention the Peters projection map.

You cannot have both area fidelity and shape fidelity to represent countries on a map.

If you want area fidelity, the Gall-Peters [1] projection and the Peters world map [2] (1952) by Arno Peters are the way to visualize countries, whereas common maps focus on shape-fidelity.
