Why the map you grew up with disagrees
On a Mercator map, area grows with distance from the equator. Congo sits at about 1°S and is stretched to 1.0× its true area; Isle of Man at 54° N is stretched to 2.93×. That difference is why Isle of Man looks so much bigger than it is next to Congo. The figure above uses the Equal Earth projection, where every square kilometre is drawn the same size.
