They would be the exact same size if Portugal didn't have that Lisboa sized gap by its western border
Holy shit, I don't think you can just go around saying "Lisboa sized gap," wtf.
A large Portugal the size of a small Portugal.

Can you put Portugal A little to the left so I can see Spain better?
If you line it up right, the borders are exactly the same shape! What a crazy coincidence!
Get more evidence for continental drift.
If you think that's impressive, just look at the size of Spain compared to Spain 
Man, the mercator projection really messes up the perspective, I never would have guessed!!
Wow, it covers Spain almost entirely

Technically the truth
Mr president a second Portugal has hit the Iberian peninsula
Wow I never realized how small it was in comparison until I saw it here.
Spain is indeed small
The mercator projection really oversells the size of portugal. If you ordered a large pizza youβll have to eat it outside of the country.

The size of two Portugals compared to most of France:

This is surprising to a lot of people because everyone is used to seeing mercator projection maps, which skew the true size of countries
Thank you, I've always wondered how their sizes compare, this is a great visual representation. So clear.
Huh, I wonder how it compares to that other country to the west there.
Thatβs Vermont. Itβs not supposed to even be there.
Portugal is just a portly rotated Nepal.
Does this mean they have fat, sideways Ghurkas?
Why isn't Spain just eating Portugal?
Why does Russia, the largest of the countries, not simply eat the rest?
I mean, they're trying. Not very successfully as of late but they are.
Theyβre having a little trouble with Ukraine atm.
Bullshit, I don't believe you.
Quality shitpost
Bah! That's nothing! You should see the size of Antarctica compared to Spain!
