Which is bigger: Cambodia or Greenland?

Greenland is larger (2,166,086 km²) — about 12.0 times the size of Cambodia (181,035 km²).

Why do Cambodia and Greenland look different on the map than in reality?

The common Mercator projection enlarges areas the farther they lie from the equator, so the on-map size proportions of Cambodia and Greenland are distorted compared to their true land area.
