Why the map you grew up with disagrees
On a Mercator map, area grows with distance from the equator. Singapore sits at about 1°N and is stretched to 1.0× its true area; Slovakia at 49° N is stretched to 2.3×. That difference is why Slovakia looks so much bigger than it is next to Singapore. The figure above uses the Equal Earth projection, where every square kilometre is drawn the same size.
