A watercolour world map with continents shading from coral to violet and a small compass rose, a map of the United States with coloured circles sized by incident counts — and two ink dragon boats and a green wash that came in on stray tags.

World map among its neighbours

Flags & Countries also has map, globe, continent and compass. World map is for the whole planet laid flat: political and physical maps, decorative wall maps, outlines of every continent at once. A single country or region belongs under map; the round version under globe.

Projection matters

Most flat world maps stretch the far north and south: Greenland looks as big as Africa, though it is many times smaller. For a decorative print nobody minds. For data — population, emissions, sales by country — pick an equal-area projection, or the big northern countries will dominate the picture.

Borders are political

A map is also a statement. Check how disputed territories are drawn and how old the borders are before you put a map into a school book or a company report. A watercolour map without borders, like the coral one here, sidesteps the question entirely.
