Argentina dwarfs Asia: about 2,782,703 km² km² against 44,580,000 km² km². At true size Argentina is about 16× larger — the whole of Asia fits into Argentina roughly 16 times.
The old Mercator map treated both about equally (1.5× vs 1× inflation), so at least their relative sizes were preserved — even if both were drawn at the wrong absolute scale.
Argentina fits 16× into Asia.
