Set reveal zoom level based on size of target country #14

land area is included in the data payload for restcountries. Use it to dynamically calculate an appropriate google maps zoom level per target country - so that the entire country fills an appropriate amount of the screen and the country's map label is visible.

This is done. There are about 8 different ranges of area that are mapped to a specific zoom level; countries that are larger require less zoom. I've also taken the map projection into account when revealing arctic northern countries.
