Which is bigger: Uzbekistan or Morocco?

Uzbekistan is larger (448,969 km²) — about 1.0 times the size of Morocco (446,550 km²).

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