If It Were My Home gained some popularity during the oil spill because it was able to virtually place the oil spill over your home town and get an idea of how large it was in comparison to your hometown and surrounding area.

This feature alone is good to offer students the real perspective on the size of other countries when you compare population statistics, especially density.
