Why the map you grew up with disagrees
On a Mercator map, area grows with distance from the equator. Israel sits at about 31°N and is stretched to 1.37× its true area; Monaco at 44° N is stretched to 1.92×. That difference is why Monaco looks so much bigger than it is next to Israel. The figure above uses the Equal Earth projection, where every square kilometre is drawn the same size.
