Re:The True Size Of Countries: Mercator projection by jcranmer on Monday November 16, 2020 @09:28AM (#25111986)
Robinson or Winkel tripel are probably the best here. Aitoff, Mollweide, Kavrayskiy, Wagner, etc. are all decent choices here as well.

One commonality all of these projections have is that they are pseudocylindrical instead of cylindrical: lines of longitude are not depicted as straight lines but as curved lines, with the curve being more pronounced the further from the central meridian you are.
