As explained, a country's size on the map is determined by its population.
If you click on an area of the map, it enlarges to allow the details to be easily read.
Interesting fact for me -
* population of Australia is shown as 24.8 million.
* add another 13.5 million to this ( gives 38.3 million)
* this equals the number of people currently living in Tokyo !
Obvious also, the size of the country/country population has little to do with its involvement/importance in world events. (find Israel)
