Pretty cool graphic. Might be important to note that alot of that is desert; the Sahara is the size of the continental United States

Since when Africa is a country?

sarah palin is going to shit herself

Alaska is big too

Your Mom is Bigger Than Africa.

Well, yeah, its a continent, which tend to be bigger than countries… Am I missing something?

I’M SO ANGRY AND I DON’T KNOW WHY RRRAAAAH

Turns out Africa isn’t bigger than I think.

Cool.

Idiots. Africa is not a country. Neither is “Western Europe.” We get it, Africa is big. But it is a continent, morons, not a country. Please try again.

And to think we used to own most of that…. Ah, the glory days of empire.

I don’t the fact that people are cropping up all over to defend the said size of their countries, or population. Can this not be just a neat thing to look at, instead of people protesting it, or trying to best it???

The point is that maps skew the size of the Southern Hemisphere to make it look smaller. Greenland looks bigger than Africa in most maps. It’s showing the actual size of the continent. THIS ISN’T QUANTUM PHYSICS PEOPLE.

Dear 7th Grade Social Studies book, Western Europe and Africa are not countries. Thanks.

is Hawai’i or Alaska included with USA in this size comparison? doesn’t make sense that they would include sicily and sardinia with Italy but not Hawai’i and Alaska. but i like the concept of this graphic. the point is that on most modern maps today, the northern hemisphere, including the USA is made to look way larger than it actually is, and the continent of Africa often looks way too small.

I feel like this trying to lead me to believe Africa is a country. “Other names countries:”????

Africa is just as big as you’d expect a giant land mass made of dozens of countries to be. Compare Africa to ASIA, not two Asian countries, some random others, and half (?) of another continent. And, size doesn’t really matter. Indian and China together hold about 1/3 of the world’s population. Postin’ from America

Africa is also a continent. Besides Western Europe, what’s the point of comparing it to other countries? If anything, I’m now more aware of how big the US and China are.
