Guinea covers 245,857 km² on the new Equal Earth world map, 0.2% of all land on Earth. It ranks 79th of 237 countries worldwide and 32nd in Africa. At 10° latitude Mercator only inflates Guinea by about 3%, so the old and new maps largely agree on it, unlike the far north where Mercator's stretch is dramatic.
For scale, Guinea is roughly the same size as United Kingdom (244,376 km²).
You could fit 3 of Czechia inside Guinea.
