Why the map you grew up with disagrees
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; Uganda at 1° N is stretched to 1.0×. That difference is why Azerbaijan looks so much bigger than it is next to Uganda. The figure above uses the Equal Earth projection, where every square kilometre is drawn the same size.
