Kazakhstan dwarfs North America: about 2,712,747 km² km² against 24,710,000 km² km². At true size Kazakhstan is about 9.1× larger — the whole of North America fits into Kazakhstan roughly 9 times.
The old Mercator map treated both about equally (2.3× vs 1× inflation), so at least their relative sizes were preserved — even if both were drawn at the wrong absolute scale.
Kazakhstan fits 9× into North America.
