On a Mercator map, area grows with distance from the equator. France sits at about 43°N and is stretched to 1.87× its true area; Haiti at 19° N is stretched to 1.12×. That difference is why France 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.
