Why the map you grew up with disagrees
On a Mercator map, area grows with distance from the equator. Bangladesh sits at about 24°N and is stretched to 1.2× 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 Bangladesh. The figure above uses the Equal Earth projection, where every square kilometre is drawn the same size.
