I'm not comparing the UK with others. I am looking at the UK. It is not
small.



Its 2/3 the size of Germany
Its 1/2 the size of Iraq
Its 1/2 the size of France
Its 40% of the size of Afghanistan
Its 3% of the size of the USA
Its 2 % of the size of the Russian Federation

London is closer to Tunis than Seattle is to Washington DC

The UK falls on the sall side of the distribution curve
in geographic terms
