Which is bigger: Saint Kitts and Nevis or Brazil?

Brazil is larger (8,510,417 km²) — about 32607.0 times the size of Saint Kitts and Nevis (261 km²).

Why do Saint Kitts and Nevis 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 Saint Kitts and Nevis and Brazil are distorted compared to their true land area.
