Which is bigger: Mozambique or Türkiye?

Mozambique is larger (801,590 km²) — about 1.0 times the size of Türkiye (783,562 km²).

Why do Mozambique and Türkiye 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 Mozambique and Türkiye are distorted compared to their true land area.
