Armenia and the US on a world map
Armenia reaches from 39°N to 41°N; the US from 19°N to 71°N, with Hawaii in the south and Alaska in the far north. Most world maps use the Mercator projection, which enlarges places more the further they are from the Equator. It draws Armenia about 1.72 times its real size and the US about 2.3 times (Alaska far more than Florida). So on a normal world map the US looks about 442 times the size of Armenia, when it is really about 331 times. The equal-area map above shows the real difference.
