Syria covers 185,733 km² km² on the new Equal Earth world map — 0.1%% of all land on Earth, making it the 88th largest country in the world and the 24th largest in Asia. At 35° latitude the old Mercator map inflates area by about 1.5×, so it drew Syria closer to 276,742 km² km² — a difference of roughly 49%%.
