Why the map you grew up with disagrees
On a Mercator map, area grows with distance from the equator. Nauru sits at about 1° S and is stretched to 1.0× its true area; Russia at 66° N is stretched to 6.06×. That difference is why Russia looks so much bigger than it is next to Nauru. The figure above uses the Equal Earth projection, where every square kilometre is drawn the same size.
