Geography on New Year's Day
Just some interesting stuff on New Year's Day. It's good to learn some new things!
As small as we think Singapore is, do you know that it is not even on the list of the top 10 smallest country?
The list is as follows:
Vatican City - 0.2 square miles
Monaco - 0.7 square miles
Nauru - 8.5 square miles
Tuvalu - 9 square miles
San Marino - 24 square miles
Liechtenstein - 62 square miles
Marshall Islands - 70 square miles
Saint Kitts and Nevis - 104 square miles
Seychelles - 107 square miles
Maldives - 115 square miles
In a list of 231 countries, Singapore stands at rank 187. (1, being the largest country in the world and that is Russia.
Interestingly (to me, at least), Malaysia is larger than the United Kingdom!
You should read up on this if you're bored. I was pretty amazed by the stuff I've found out today.
Well, enjoy your New Year's Day!
