if we are going along those lines of greenland being the biggest the second must be Iceland

Montpoolier · **Posted:** Thu Jun 25, 2009 12:19 pm

That'll do compo. :wink:

GB biggest, then Iceland, then Ireland. Greenland's on the American continental shelf. So is Iceland like but it's generally considered part of Europe.

Compo · **Posted:** Thu Jun 25, 2009 12:25 pm

Ok then what was the ship called in Treasure Island

Poolie of Kent · **Posted:** Thu Jun 25, 2009 12:59 pm

I'm going for Hispaniola but Fensy's already said it.
I don't have a very good question anyway :uhoh:

Fensy · **Joined:** Thu Aug 17, 2006 9:15 pm **Posts:** 6473

I am guessing my guess is right

What, in population terms, is the largest Spanish speaking country in the world?

I'm gonna state the obvious and go with the Phillippines. But I'd have said Mexico if someone hadn't already said it.

Montpoolier · **Posted:** Thu Jun 25, 2009 1:56 pm

Well dog my cat, looking them up Mexico is World No. 11 and the Phillippines world No. 12.

Yep, just checked and it's about 25% bigger. But don't get me started on maps. Here's a quick one for you PoK. Have a look at this map and then consider this: Africa is around 15 times the size of Greenland.

Ah yes, the old "Mercator Projection" issue. That old chestnut again eh?
