On a Mercator map, area grows with distance from the equator. Guyana sits at about 5°N and is stretched to 1.01× its true area; Hungary at 47° N is stretched to 2.16×. That difference is why Hungary looks so much bigger than it is next to Guyana. The figure above uses the Equal Earth projection, where every square kilometre is drawn the same size.
