Why the map you grew up with disagrees
On a Mercator map, area grows with distance from the equator. Germany sits at about 51°N and is stretched to 2.53× its true area; Taiwan at 24° N is stretched to 1.19×. That difference is why Germany looks so much bigger than it is next to Taiwan. The figure above uses the Equal Earth projection, where every square kilometre is drawn the same size.
