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; Slovakia at 49° N is stretched to 2.3×. That difference is why Slovakia looks so much bigger than it is next to Azerbaijan. The figure above uses the Equal Earth projection, where every square kilometre is drawn the same size.
