Reply to comment by Xymis in Visualizing Countries by Share of Earth’s Surface by iamgigglz

It does say "Earth's Total Surface Area", so omitting isn't an option. Also, Antarctica is the only large piece of land with no label on it, so it deserves its unique place

The article itself mentions it’s not a country and even if it says “total land mass” they could’ve put a footnote or an asterisk. Anyway, this is a silly thing to go back and forth about.
