Why the map you grew up with disagrees
On a Mercator map, area grows with distance from the equator. Albania sits at about 41°N and is stretched to 1.76× its true area; India at 23° N is stretched to 1.18×. That difference is why Albania looks so much bigger than it is next to India. The figure above uses the Equal Earth projection, where every square kilometre is drawn the same size.
