Uganda covers 241,550 km² on the new Equal Earth world map, 0.2% of all land on Earth. It ranks 81st of 237 countries worldwide and 33rd in Africa. At 1° latitude Mercator only inflates Uganda by about 0.05%, so the old and new maps largely agree on it, unlike the far north where Mercator's stretch is dramatic.
For scale, Uganda is roughly the same size as United Kingdom (244,376 km²).
You could fit 3 of Czechia inside Uganda.
