Africa dwarfs Venezuela: about 30,370,000 km² km² against 914,310 km² km². At true size Africa is about 33.2× larger — the whole of Venezuela fits into Africa roughly 33 times.
The old Mercator map treated both about equally (1× vs 1× inflation), so at least their relative sizes were preserved — even if both were drawn at the wrong absolute scale.
Venezuela fits 33× into Africa.
