I need a world map on which to display country web statistics and, being in Canada, want to avoid projections like Mercator with their northern distortions. Something like Mollweide or Robinson is more what I am seeking.
I downloaded the Natural Earth administrative borders map (WGS84) and opened it in QGIS 3.20 as the only layer in a new project. So far, so good. Then I changed the CRS (layer and project) to Mollweide (ESRI:54009) and the on-screen render changed hardly at all. It didn't remain unchanged, but it still looks very much more like WGS84 than Mollweide. The same happens if I try to re-project to Robinson (ESRI:54030) or Winkel-Tripel (ESRI:54042). So far as I can tell, I have followed all the steps outlined in the online manual but there must be something obvious that I am missing. Can someone set me straight? Thanks, Brian Gilhuly
