What the numbers say about Monaco

- On a standard web map (Web Mercator), a place at 44°N is drawn about 1.9× too large in area, so Monaco looks bigger there than it is.
- Laid out flat, Monaco's main territory stretches about 5.1 km north to south and 5.7 km east to west.
- Natural Earth draws Monaco with only 6 points, too coarse to measure its area: our outline measures 18.8 km². The area shown is the official figure from Wikidata, and the drawing is not to true scale.
- Our measured 18.8 km² is 795% above Wikidata's official figure of 2.1 km². Official figures can include inland water or count land that an outline draws differently. This difference is flagged for review.
