Why the map you grew up with disagrees
On a Mercator map, area grows with distance from the equator. Indonesia sits at about 2°S and is stretched to 1.0× its true area; Kyrgyzstan at 41° N is stretched to 1.78×. That difference is why Kyrgyzstan looks so much bigger than it is next to Indonesia. The figure above uses the Equal Earth projection, where every square kilometre is drawn the same size.
