United Arab Emirates covers 71,265 km² km² on the new Equal Earth world map — 0.1%% of all land on Earth, making it the 120th largest country in the world and the 33rd largest in Asia. At 24° latitude Mercator only inflates United Arab Emirates by about 20%%, so the old and new maps largely agree on it — unlike the far north, where Mercator's stretch is dramatic.
For scale: United Arab Emirates is roughly the same size as Ireland (68,700 km² km²).
