On a Mercator map, area grows with distance from the equator. Paraguay sits at about 23°S and is stretched to 1.18× its true area; Saint Kitts and Nevis at 17° N is stretched to 1.1×. Here the two are distorted about the same amount, so Mercator gets this pair roughly right. The figure above uses the Equal Earth projection, where every square kilometre is drawn the same size.
