Why the map you grew up with disagrees
On a Mercator map, area grows with distance from the equator. Greece sits at about 39°N and is stretched to 1.66× its true area; Luxembourg at 50° N is stretched to 2.4×. That difference is why Luxembourg looks so much bigger than it is next to Greece. The figure above uses the Equal Earth projection, where every square kilometre is drawn the same size.
