    I don’t know what you mean by “other such variations”, but maybe you are looking for a map with something like the Mollweide projection? That’s a bit of distortion in shape but trying to keep areas real.

      No, because Africa is larger than Russia, this shows Russia as massive.

        Africa: 30.3 million km²

        Asia: 44 million km²

        Nowhere near the difference Mercator projection maps make it out to be, but Asia definitely is larger.

            Your original comment definitely said Asia.
