Which is bigger: Togo or Croatia?

Togo is larger (56,785 km²) — about 1.0 times the size of Croatia (56,594 km²).

Why do Togo and Croatia 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 Togo and Croatia are distorted compared to their true land area.
