On a Mercator map, area grows with distance from the equator. Hungary sits at about 47°N and is stretched to 2.16× its true area; Malaysia at 4° N is stretched to 1.0×. That difference is why Hungary looks so much bigger than it is next to Malaysia. The figure above uses the Equal Earth projection, where every square kilometre is drawn the same size.
