Why the map you grew up with disagrees

On a Mercator map, area grows with distance from the equator. India sits at about 23°N and is stretched to 1.18× its true area; San Marino at 44° N is stretched to 1.93×. That difference is why San Marino looks so much bigger than it is next to India. The figure above uses the Equal Earth projection, where every square kilometre is drawn the same size.
