I know that the ocean is big enough, but OP uses a Mercator projection and pastes the same size Poland all over the map

You have used correctly resized maps, they didn't

I really don't understand why you're doubling down here, when faced with overwhelming evidence to the contrary. The map I used and the one originally posted are both from the same website, and when overlaid, the two maps match pixel for pixel. There is no difference in projection or distortion between them. The outlines of Poland are very clearly not the same size all over the map.
