On a Mercator map, area grows with distance from the equator. Guinea sits at about 10°N and is stretched to 1.03× 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 Guinea. The figure above uses the Equal Earth projection, where every square kilometre is drawn the same size.
