Why the map you grew up with disagrees
On a Mercator map, area grows with distance from the equator. Armenia sits at about 40°N and is stretched to 1.72× its true area; Kazakhstan at 48° N is stretched to 2.27×. That difference is why Kazakhstan looks so much bigger than it is next to Armenia. The figure above uses the Equal Earth projection, where every square kilometre is drawn the same size.
