On a Mercator map, area grows with distance from the equator. Eswatini sits at about 27°S and is stretched to 1.25× its true area; Uzbekistan at 42° N is stretched to 1.8×. That difference is why Uzbekistan looks so much bigger than it is next to Eswatini. The figure above uses the Equal Earth projection, where every square kilometre is drawn the same size.
