I need to be able to compare a cartogram to a political map in order to answer these two questions:
33. What do the relative sizes of Australia and New Zealand on both maps tell you about each country's GNP?
34. Compare the size of South Korea on the two maps. What does this comparison tell you?
But, I'm not exactly sure on how to compare the two maps. I feel so dumb when it comes to this stuff. Any advice?

Does your cartogram show GNP?
Yes
I don't know if this will help, but ...
http://www.google.com/maps/place/Australia/@-21.1386697,95.2814863,3z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x2b2bfd076787c5df:0x538267a1955b1352!8m2!3d-25.274398!4d133.775136
Can you see Australia and New Zealand here? Drag the map around until you can see both of them, if you need to.
Then drag the map downward so that South Korea comes into view, along with Australia and New Zealand.
However, you'll need to find info on each country's GNP by means of a regular search, I think. This webpage below has ideas for you. Scroll down and read the different ways to search for exactly what you want.
