On a Mercator map, area grows with distance from the equator. Mongolia sits at about 47°N and is stretched to 2.15× its true area; Togo at 9° N is stretched to 1.02×. That difference is why Mongolia looks so much bigger than it is next to Togo. The figure above uses the Equal Earth projection, where every square kilometre is drawn the same size.
