Why the map you grew up with disagrees
On a Mercator map, area grows with distance from the equator. Slovakia sits at about 49°N and is stretched to 2.3× its true area; Vietnam at 17° N is stretched to 1.09×. That difference is why Slovakia looks so much bigger than it is next to Vietnam. The figure above uses the Equal Earth projection, where every square kilometre is drawn the same size.
