On a Mercator map, area grows with distance from the equator. Azerbaijan sits at about 40°N and is stretched to 1.72× its true area; Hong Kong at 22° N is stretched to 1.17×. That difference is why Azerbaijan looks so much bigger than it is next to Hong Kong. The figure above uses the Equal Earth projection, where every square kilometre is drawn the same size.
