How can we fit all the CMPs we have in Australia
And this also explains why our border raids can be somewhat epic.
This graphic was emailed to me; I don't know it's original source.

Geoff, they need one comparing Australia to Canada. 4300 km from Vancouver and you'd barely be into Ontario!

Can't find a superimposed Australia/Canada Map but:
Canada = 9,631,418 Sq Kilometres USA (including Alaska) = 9,093,507 Sq Kilometres Continental USA = 7,663,941 AND .71! Sq Kilometres Australia = 7,617,930 Sq Kilometres European Union = 4,324,782 Sq Kilometres (If you take the area right across to the Urals - the technical area of Europe, this figure is doubled) Last edited by Lang; 19-04-09 at 07:41.

According to Canadian Government mapping: Vancouver to Quebec City 3,792.5 Kilometres Vancouver to Halifax 4,428.75 Kilometres All the Northern Hemisphere continents are upwards of 1/3 bigger than they should be on a Mercator map (the equator is not in the middle) and this gives the impression of larger size. Also because Canada and Europe are so far north they have been stretched to fit on a flat bit of paper. In the far north of Canada one degree of longitude is less than 10 miles while in the far north of Australia one degree is about 55 miles. The map makers squeeze this out into straight lines of 60 miles so North Australia is about 10% bigger than it should be while Northern Canada is about 600% bigger than it should be. Lang

Lang, the distance from Vancouver to Halifax is around 4000 miles, not km.
The Canada – United States border is the international border between Canada and the United States. Officially known as the International Boundary, it is the longest common border in the world and is unmilitarized. The terrestrial boundary (including small portions of maritime boundaries on the Atlantic, Pacific, and Arctic coasts, as well as the Great Lakes) is 8,891 kilometres (5,525 mi) long, including 2,475 kilometres (1,538 mi) shared with Alaska. It is Canada's only land border, and Canada is by far the largest country with this distinction.

It shouldn't be about size - besides, we all know that it's smaller when it's cold. This should explain Russia and Canada ;o)
