ROFL so this is mouse-drawn and fails, but I had to share it.

Sooooo, I was researching for fic reasons, and idly began looking up country sizes. Along the way, I learned some surprising things, and this resulted.

Warnings: Safe for even Sealand!
Summary: The ranking of the main countries by size may surprise you a bit.

Unsurprisingly, Russia is largest, at near twice the size of the next-largest country, Canada.
China and America swap places depending on what you count as China's territory. This is because of around 50,000 kilometers squared of disputed territory with India.
One that really surprised me is that Japan is larger than Germany by over 20,000 kilometers squared, making him actually the largest country in the Axis Powers.
Of the Allies and Axis Powers, England is smallest at number 79, having only 242,900 kilometers squared of territory, and this includes Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland.



Yay for learning?
