Why the map you grew up with disagrees
On a Mercator map, area grows with distance from the equator. Namibia sits at about 22°S and is stretched to 1.16× its true area; Slovenia at 46° N is stretched to 2.08×. That difference is why Slovenia looks so much bigger than it is next to Namibia. The figure above uses the Equal Earth projection, where every square kilometre is drawn the same size.
