According to the World Almanac, Australia's land area is 2,966,153 square miles.

The Mapparium still shows Africa under colonial rule (so pre-1960) and shows Tibet and Manchuria as distinct from China. It also has Tannu Tuva as an independent country (later annexed by the Soviet Union).

The population figure I quoted included New Zealand, Solomon Islands, Papua New Guinea as well.

I think the Mapparium needs to do some updating before they get accused of colonialism by the wokesters.
