Why the map you grew up with disagrees
On a Mercator map, area grows with distance from the equator. Croatia sits at about 45°N and is stretched to 2.01× its true area; Myanmar at 21° N is stretched to 1.15×. That difference is why Croatia looks so much bigger than it is next to Myanmar. The figure above uses the Equal Earth projection, where every square kilometre is drawn the same size.
