Why the map you grew up with disagrees
On a Mercator map, area grows with distance from the equator. Iraq sits at about 33°N and is stretched to 1.42× its true area; Slovenia at 46° N is stretched to 2.08×. That difference is why Slovenia looks so much bigger than it is next to Iraq. The figure above uses the Equal Earth projection, where every square kilometre is drawn the same size.
