Why the map you grew up with disagrees
On a Mercator map, area grows with distance from the equator. Kyrgyzstan sits at about 41°N and is stretched to 1.78× its true area; Luxembourg at 50° N is stretched to 2.4×. That difference is why Luxembourg looks so much bigger than it is next to Kyrgyzstan. The figure above uses the Equal Earth projection, where every square kilometre is drawn the same size.
