Which is bigger: Hungary or Portugal?

Hungary is larger (93,025 km²) — about 1.0 times the size of Portugal (92,225.2 km²).

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