      That’s because of the damned Mercadian map projection, it makes Europe seem much larger than it is.

      Fun? fact: Africa is A LOT bigger than you think.

          Every country has their own favorite coastline statistic.

          Denmark has the largest coastline to area ratio with 172 m of coast per km^2

          Unofficially there are probably even smaller island nations with higher ratios though.

      No way!
      Scotland fits into the Mediterranean 5 times, with leftovers! Maybe we should move down there. It’d be way warmer!
