Failed. Not so.


It depends on one's point of view. The UK is a bit smaller than the
state
of
Oregon, and there are eight US states larger than Oregon. From a US
perspective, the UK is small.

My God, where do they come from? By Dutch standards it is big. The
UK
is
nor small.

Not only is the UK small, it is tiny. It is only 1.4% the size of
Russia.

Which means nothing at all.

It means Britian is 1.4% the size of Russia and tiny by comparison. It means
Britain is a small nation in area, being in the very lowest percentile of
small nations, which are nations with only 33% or less of the area of
Russia.

The UK is not small.

The evidence of Britain being only 1.4% the size of the largest nation
conclusively demonstrates Britian is a very small nation among the third
smallest nations in the world.
