countrySheetSvgfunction

A "my country" colouring sheet: the country's outline as big as the room allows (an equal-area view centred on the country, with a far territory such as French Guiana left out), its capital as a star when capital is given, a box to draw the flag in, and three facts: the continent, the countries it touches, the capital. The flag is a box to fill in, never a picture: the sheet carries no flag.

Import it

import { countrySheetSvg } from "@johnmorrisdotca/chikyu-earth/sheets";
