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; Niue at 19° S is stretched to 1.12×. That difference is why Kazakhstan looks so much bigger than it is next to Niue. The figure above uses the Equal Earth projection, where every square kilometre is drawn the same size.
