Chad covers 1,270,927 km² km² on the new Equal Earth world map — 1.0%% of all land on Earth, making it the 21st largest country in the world and the 5th largest in Africa. At 15° latitude Mercator only inflates Chad by about 7%%, so the old and new maps largely agree on it — unlike the far north, where Mercator's stretch is dramatic.
For scale: Chad is roughly the same size as Mali (1,258,185 km² km²).
You could fit 3 of Paraguay inside Chad.
