Why the map you grew up with disagrees
On a Mercator map, area grows with distance from the equator. Colombia sits at about 4°N and is stretched to 1.0× its true area; Czechia at 50° N is stretched to 2.39×. That difference is why Czechia looks so much bigger than it is next to Colombia. The figure above uses the Equal Earth projection, where every square kilometre is drawn the same size.
