Russia is the largest country in the world- covering approx. 6.6 million square miles. Russia covers about 1/8th of the world's land surface, and is 60% larger than the worlds 2nd largest country, Canana. Population is approx. 145 million.
And how many time zones do you think the the largest country has? ELEVEN. Hopefully this question will pop up in a game of trivial pursuit!
Where does Moscow fit into all of this? Moscow has approx 13 million people and covers approx (I found several different numbers so I am going with the average) 380 million square miles.
Now, just for shits and giggles, let's compare it to the USA. Why? Because I think it's fun...and it's my blog. :-) The USA covers approx. 3.6 million square miles with a population of 303 million.
