Why the map you grew up with disagrees
On a Mercator map, area grows with distance from the equator. Peru sits at about 9°S and is stretched to 1.03× its true area; Uzbekistan at 42° N is stretched to 1.8×. That difference is why Uzbekistan looks so much bigger than it is next to Peru. The figure above uses the Equal Earth projection, where every square kilometre is drawn the same size.
