On a Mercator map, area grows with distance from the equator. Kazakhstan sits at about 48°N and is stretched to 2.27× its true area; Lithuania at 55° N is stretched to 3.09×. That difference is why Lithuania looks so much bigger than it is next to Kazakhstan. The figure above uses the Equal Earth projection, where every square kilometre is drawn the same size.
