Anyone know of a 2D map print of true size? All I've found print wise is Mercator or other such variations.

Let me know if I understand correctly. You want a true to life sized map of earth? 😳

They want a 2d map of earth but with every continent to true size at scale, rather than Mercator projection where the northern hemisphere is expanded to increase their importance over the southern hemisphere.

That's not why Mercator exists
