Here I was thinking about how Madagascar must be smaller than I thought if it's the same size as Ukraine. It looks so big on a map, like a quarter Australia.

I also thought Switzerland being the same size as Bhutan to be rather interesting, as they both have famous mountain ranges and tend to be a neutral while sandwiched between bigger powers.
