Why the map you grew up with disagrees
On a Mercator map, area grows with distance from the equator. Australia sits at about 26°S and is stretched to 1.23× its true area; Austria at 48° N is stretched to 2.2×. That difference is why Austria looks so much bigger than it is next to Australia. The figure above uses the Equal Earth projection, where every square kilometre is drawn the same size.
