Which is bigger: Hungary or Brazil?

Brazil is larger (8,515,767 km²) — about 91.5 times the size of Hungary (93,028 km²).

Why do Hungary and Brazil 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 Hungary and Brazil are distorted compared to their true land area.
