Which is bigger: Morocco or Poland?

Morocco is larger (446,550 km²) — about 1.4 times the size of Poland (312,696 km²).

Why do Morocco and Poland 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 Morocco and Poland are distorted compared to their true land area.
