NGS Decorator Political World Map, standard size – paper version, a colourful political map of the world (116 x 77.5cm / 3ft 10" x 2ft 7" approx.) with pale blue oceans pleasantly contrasting with the darker shades used for countries and additional insets showing vegetation and physical geography.

Relief shading used for mountain chains on land masses is very effectively extended to the floor of the oceans, showing continental shelves and numerous ridges, many with names. Within USA, Canada and Australia internal administrative boundaries and names of states/provinces are shown.

The two Polar Regions are presented as insets in the top corners, while at the bottom two colourful maps of the world show vegetation cover and landforms (physical geography). Clocks show time difference from GMT (but without the map indicating the exact geographical area covered by each time zone). The map also provides a list of 10 largest countries by area and by populations.

Elevation for mountain peaks is given in feet. Projection is Winkel Tripel, which reduces distortion of land masses as they near the poles.

This map is also available encapsulated, plus enlarged (185 x 122cm / 6ft 1” x 4ft approx.) on paper or encapsulated.
