Why the map you grew up with disagrees
On a Mercator map, area grows with distance from the equator. Italy sits at about 43°N and is stretched to 1.85× its true area; Myanmar at 21° N is stretched to 1.15×. That difference is why Italy looks so much bigger than it is next to Myanmar. The figure above uses the Equal Earth projection, where every square kilometre is drawn the same size.
