Côte d'Ivoire covers 322,462 km² on the new Equal Earth world map, 0.2% of all land on Earth. It ranks 69th of 237 countries worldwide and 28th in Africa. At 8° latitude Mercator only inflates Côte d'Ivoire by about 2%, so the old and new maps largely agree on it, unlike the far north where Mercator's stretch is dramatic.
For scale, Côte d'Ivoire is roughly the same size as Malaysia (330,621 km²).
