Why the map you grew up with disagrees
On a Mercator map, area grows with distance from the equator. Bhutan sits at about 27°N and is stretched to 1.27× its true area; Hungary at 47° N is stretched to 2.16×. That difference is why Hungary looks so much bigger than it is next to Bhutan. The figure above uses the Equal Earth projection, where every square kilometre is drawn the same size.
