Laos covers 228,928 km² km² on the new Equal Earth world map — 0.2%% of all land on Earth, making it the 83rd largest country in the world and the 22nd largest in Asia. At 19° latitude Mercator only inflates Laos by about 11%%, so the old and new maps largely agree on it — unlike the far north, where Mercator's stretch is dramatic.
For scale: Laos is roughly the same size as United Kingdom (239,616 km² km²).
You could fit 3 of Ireland inside Laos.
