I have an absolute newbie question for #QGIS .

I want to create a map of a fantasy world within it. For that purpose, my first step is to import a bitmap of a world map I had generated elsewhere.

I did the import via

Layer->Add Layer->Add Raster Layer

However, what I fail at is telling QGIS:

"This image represents an equirectangular world map, so please scale it accordingly."

Can anyone walk me through this process? The image can be found at the link.

EDIT: Thanks to those who replied. Thanks to them, I was eventually find the right keyword (i.e. "Georeferencer") that helped me figure this out.

@juergen_hubert I would take the image and assign Ground Control Points at the same spacing as decimal degree Lat/Long coordinates using GDAL see, https://livebook.manning.com/book/geoprocessing-with-python/chapter-10#23
