Why the map you grew up with disagrees
On a Mercator map, area grows with distance from the equator. Lithuania sits at about 55° N and is stretched to 3.09× its true area; Panama at 9° N is stretched to 1.02×. That difference is why Lithuania looks so much bigger than it is next to Panama. The figure above uses the Equal Earth projection, where every square kilometre is drawn the same size.
