World Bordering Countries With Most Similar Areas
DirectionsName the 50 pairs of countries which share a land border which have the most similar (in terms of ratio) areas. Dependent territories included as part of their countries and country areas include all dependent territories. Borders included over man-made land, but not bridges/tunnels. Enter countries one after the other in either order, i.e. ‘FranceGermany’ or ‘USCanada’ – use the following abbreviations for these countries: US, UK, DRC, CAR, UAE, and just ‘Congo’ for Republic of the Congo. Number shown is ratio of larger country’s area to smaller country’s.
Really cool how some pairs of countries that you’d imagine are very similar, almost always thought of in pairs, are actually not even on the list! Nice concept for the quiz!
