- andi999 6y agoOr get a globe.
- usr1106 6y agoDoesn't help. You would need a globe with an "inner" map and an outer mostly transperent sphere that can be freely moved and display a country in a semitransparent manner. That way you can move the countries to compare over each other. And now might still want to freely rotate the upper one of them to get the best visualization.

- usr1106 6y agoNot pleasant for another reason than Peters being a communist praising the achievements of the USSR? I haven't studied the subject in detail, because an unsolvable problem is... eh... unsolvable. A quick web search did not bring up anything to compare those 2 (or others suggested here) on a quick glimpse.
