It's probably a projection error as well. The normal maps really don't show how big the north of Sweden really is.

- CRConrad 5y agoThat's funny. I'd have thought most maps are based on the standard Mercator projection, which is infamous for exaggerating sizes more the farther north you go? (The commonly-used blatant example used is how Greenland looks almost as big as Africa on a flat map, but on a globe it's tiny in comparison.) So unless you've seen some weird non-standard map, the north of Sweden probably looks bigger than it ought to, not smaller.
