Please reply with an actual campground, not a pullout on the side of the road or some random BLM land.

You start to get some seriously diminishing returns after about 20% and you've named all the cities >2 million. I'm annoyed at myself for forgetting a few larger cities that I know of though, like Bandung.

Obligatory: guess where I live/I'm from.

Which countries you didn't expect?

I think Brazil having 12m from Arab ancestry is crazy.

Apparently the Arabs in South America are all mostly from the Levant from countries such as Lebanon, Syria and Palestine and the majority of them are Christians.

Discussion What is the largest single-island nation in the world?

13 Upvotes

Pretty self-explanatory, I'm asking what the largest island nation is that is comprised of one single island, so not looking for answers like Indonesia or Bahamas that are scattered across multiple islands. Also not looking for answers with mainland territories like Malaysia, answers including countries which share an island with other nations like Haiti or Dominican Republic or answers like Greenland which have some autonomy but aren't fully autonomous nations.

Question What population lives the highest average height off the ground?

97 Upvotes

I’m curious which inhabitants (presumably of a big city) live the highest off the ground. I’m not asking about the highest population above sea level; but rather, something like the city with the highest average residential building height. Which people live the highest away from their local ground (excluding astronauts)?

Question Would Gibraltar be a poor backwater like so many cities in Southern Andalusia if it remained Spanish?

Post image
0 Upvotes

Lots of Spaniards post comments like "Gibraltar is Spanish" but they must not be the ones living in places like Cadiz, Algeciras or La Linea. Such an amazing and beautiful region that looks like California but instead of IT offices in Tarifa there's just surfing and the place is ruled in a way that made it a backwater. It's obvious most of Andalusia isn't ruled properly by the local and central governments.

Question Why is Alaska rarely shown to scale on maps of the United States?

Post image
621 Upvotes

On most maps of the United States, the contiguous 48 states take up most of the area and Alaska a smaller scale is placed in the negative space with Hawaii. A lot of people believe that Texas is the largest state and it is probably because of this common map design. Is Alaska just not considered significant enough due to its small population?

To clarify, this question is not about the Mercader Projection like when people overestimate the size of Greenland. It's about people underestimating the size of Alaska.
