On a Mercator map, area grows with distance from the equator. Georgia sits at about 42°N and is stretched to 1.82× its true area; Senegal at 14° N is stretched to 1.07×. That difference is why Georgia looks so much bigger than it is next to Senegal. The figure above uses the Equal Earth projection, where every square kilometre is drawn the same size.
