Put these countries in order of size

Here are some countries. Your task is to rank them in order of size (largest = 1, smallest = 5).

For the pedantic, size in this context is measured by total land area.

Average Ranking	Answer

Enheduanna	posted 20-Mar-2003 4:59pm I'm pretty much guessing, although I'm fairly certain that Iraq is the largest and North Korea is probably the smallest. So: Iraq - New Zealand - Japan - Ireland - North Korea

Zang	posted 21-Mar-2003 5:20am Theoretically, I should be pretty good at this. I'm fairly knowledgeable about geography. This is tough though. Some of these countries, you wouldn't see next to each other on a map, and they are all pretty small. Here's my guess: Iraq New Zealand Japan Ireland North Korea
Zang	posted 21-Mar-2003 5:29am It looks like I was wrong: Iraq 432,162 sq km Japan 374,744 sq km New Zealand 268,680 sq km North Korea 120,410 sq km Ireland 68,890 sq km
dora	posted 21-Mar-2003 7:00am I'm so ignorant that I didn't even know how big Iraq was!

Cleo	posted 21-Mar-2003 10:46pm New Zealand North Korea Iraq Ireland Japan I suck in these kinds of questions Where's the correct answers?

Kristal_Rose	posted 22-Mar-2003 7:05am J NZ Iraq NK Eire I had to look at my globe or i would have had no idea. I knew roughly how large all of them were compared to their nearest neighbors, but that's about it.
kaleb777	(reply to ROCKMAN) posted 22-Mar-2003 10:13am I know NZ is bigger than Britain because I remember studying Britain at school and could not believe that so many people were crowded into such a small place. It's no wonder the English sent all their prisoners out here and encouraged emmigration. Ireland is smaller than the UK, so I knew it must be tiny.
Cleo	(reply to msgman) posted 22-Mar-2003 6:57pm Oops! Sorry I didn't get back to it till just now. Thanks msgman. I'll check it out right now. I can't wait to see how stupid it makes me feel.
Cleo	(reply to msgman) posted 22-Mar-2003 7:00pm Yep! I feel really stupid. I didn't get ONE,not one correct! heavy sigh
anonymous	posted 23-Mar-2003 1:03pm Well, of COURSE Ireland is the best. I mean,duh!
Steven	posted 23-Mar-2003 9:21pm From largest to smallest: Iraq, Japan, New Zealand, North Korea and Ireland
ROCKMAN	(reply to kaleb777) posted 24-Mar-2003 8:29am That probably is why they sent prisones there and encouraged immigration.
kaleb777	(reply to ROCKMAN) posted 24-Mar-2003 2:30pm There's still 60 million in the UK. Imagine the place without emmigration!

msgman	(reply to fook_u_fook_me) posted 26-Mar-2003 4:14pm It's clear from your comment that you didn't learn English, either.
Biggles	posted 29-Mar-2003 11:11am I'm thinking that I did not do well at this! A point well made SC....
Biggles	posted 29-Mar-2003 11:14am Oh, I didn't do as badly as I expected. I got New Zealand as the biggest, but after that the others are all in the right order.
