North Korea covers 122,496 km² km² on the new Equal Earth world map — 0.1%% of all land on Earth, making it the 100th largest country in the world and the 29th largest in Asia. At 40° latitude the old Mercator map inflates area by about 1.7×, so it drew North Korea closer to 209,468 km² km² — a difference of roughly 71%%.
For scale: North Korea is roughly the same size as Greece (130,177 km² km²).
