Why the map you grew up with disagrees
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; Haiti at 19° N is stretched to 1.12×. That difference is why Finland looks so much bigger than it is next to Haiti. The figure above uses the Equal Earth projection, where every square kilometre is drawn the same size.
