An area ratio is the one fact a map can't distort: how many of a smaller country fit inside a larger one is the same number on Mercator, on a globe, on any projection. This pillar turns true-size areas into a simple count — a more intuitive way to feel a size gap than raw square kilometres.
The results still surprise, because the map has primed your eye wrongly. France fits inside Russia about 27 times and inside Canada about 16; the United Kingdom fits inside Russia roughly 70 times over. Use the on-map fill to stack one country inside another, band by band, until the giant is brimming.
