Crazy that you could pretty much fit the continental US into the Sahara Desert

Shouldn’t it as it’s a whole continent and Russia is a country….
StrictlyInsaneRants on
Actually that made me realize how big Russia is in proportion to other things. Of course the greed and waste of going to war to want more instead of developing what you got is quite staggering too

No shit, Africa is the second largest continent in the world. Russia is just a country.

Take one african country and place it into Asia and be amazed….no?
Okay, same with this.
Africa is not a country.

“dwarfs Russia” meanwhile Russia covers like 75% of Africa from north to south.

Here come the comments thinking they’re smart for pointing out that Africa isn’t a country
The reason these comparisons get made is precisely because on the Mercator map projection (which the average person would have internalised the most) Africa looks smaller than or at least equal to Russia

Fun fact: 100% of Africa can fit within Africa!!

it matches South America in size?

Brazil is pretty big.
MJMichaela on
For some reason i thought India was bigger than that. Maybe just because of its population numbers.

Missing the obligatory joke comparison to África

It’s actually crazy that the country of Russia is the length of a whole continent.
Imaginary-Cow8579 on
This comparison makes you realise that Russia is huge

Russia surely is big. Is longer than all Africa.

Yes. Africa is a big *continent.*

Hey guys, this house is bigger than every pizza ever made!

How does that dwarf Russia?
The country is as long as whole ass Africa
OrsoRosso on
Yeah a continent with 54 countries is slightly bigger than Russia.
I really don’t see how you can say “dwarfs” if anything it shows how big Russia is compared to all the other countries.

A flight from Egypt to South Africa is roughly between 10-12 hours
Bonkers

Europe is 10.1 million km². Slightly bigger than the US (9.8 million km²).
Both still fit easily in Africa together btw.

When you think about it, its crazy that Africa is only worth 3 per turn and Europe is 5.

Comparing a country to a whole continent eh…

True size of Africa is like at least twice a day lately.

It’d be interesting to see a map of the true scale of Africa based on seaports, navigable rivers, and freshwater lakes. Don’t know how exactly that would look, but these poor tiny countries will finally get a break from being compared to Great Africa.

Actually mindblown that north Africa to south Africa is almost the same distance as Russia‘s most western point to its most eastern point.
FordGT2017 on
Africa is not a country. What’s the point of putting countries in Africa. It’s a continent.
betacarotentoo on
Aaa, no, Africa is less than twice the size of Russia, so it’s a bit forced to say it “dwarfs” it.
rizorith on
Poor canada
LeifurTreur on
I’d say it does the opposite. Russia is a country. Its more than half the size of Africa. A continent.

India is that small? That’s 3x smaller than China and US
Wtf
