This 23.25 x 16 inch contemporary world map provides a detailed geographic view of national boundaries, depicting current political realities across all continents. It uses a concise, easy to read color palette that has been featured on National Geographic maps for over 75 years.

This map adheres to National Geographic's convention of making independent, apolitical decisions based on extensive research using multiple authoritative sources. So, you can trust its accuracy!
