Why the map you grew up with disagrees
On a Mercator map, area grows with distance from the equator. Austria sits at about 48°N and is stretched to 2.2× its true area; Mongolia at 47° N is stretched to 2.15×. Here the two are distorted about the same amount, so Mercator gets this pair roughly right. The figure above uses the Equal Earth projection, where every square kilometre is drawn the same size.
