Why the map you grew up with disagrees
On a Mercator map, area grows with distance from the equator. Kenya sits at about 1°N and is stretched to 1.0× its true area; Serbia at 44° N is stretched to 1.95×. That difference is why Serbia looks so much bigger than it is next to Kenya. The figure above uses the Equal Earth projection, where every square kilometre is drawn the same size.
