Ghana covers 238,537 km² on the new Equal Earth world map, 0.2% of all land on Earth. It ranks 82nd of 237 countries worldwide and 34th in Africa. At 8° latitude Mercator only inflates Ghana 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, Ghana is roughly the same size as United Kingdom (244,376 km²).
You could fit 3 of Czechia inside Ghana.
