On a Mercator map, area grows with distance from the equator. Algeria sits at about 28°N and is stretched to 1.28× its true area; Uzbekistan at 42° N is stretched to 1.8×. That difference is why Uzbekistan looks so much bigger than it is next to Algeria. The figure above uses the Equal Earth projection, where every square kilometre is drawn the same size.
