On a Mercator map, area grows with distance from the equator. Finland sits at about 64°N and is stretched to 5.3× its true area; Georgia at 42° N is stretched to 1.82×. That difference is why Finland looks so much bigger than it is next to Georgia. The figure above uses the Equal Earth projection, where every square kilometre is drawn the same size.
