Which is bigger: Eswatini or Greenland?

Greenland is larger (2,166,086 km²) — about 124.7 times the size of Eswatini (17,364 km²).

Why do Eswatini 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 Eswatini and Greenland are distorted compared to their true land area.
