Libya covers 1,626,369 km² km² on the new Equal Earth world map — 1.2%% of all land on Earth, making it the 17th largest country in the world and the 4th largest in Africa. At 27° latitude Mercator only inflates Libya by about 26%%, so the old and new maps largely agree on it — unlike the far north, where Mercator's stretch is dramatic.
For scale: Libya is roughly the same size as Iran (1,622,847 km² km²).
You could fit 3 of Thailand inside Libya.
