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; Timor-Leste at 9° S is stretched to 1.02×. That difference is why Kyrgyzstan looks so much bigger than it is next to Timor-Leste. The figure above uses the Equal Earth projection, where every square kilometre is drawn the same size.
