- mynameismonkey 6y agoSmall compared to what? It's 80% the land mass of the USA, and the sixth largest country by land mass in the world.
- oska 6y agoI saw the Washington Post describe Victoria as a small state today (in its Covid-19 coverage of the outbreak there). I went and looked up its size to compare to US states - it's bigger than Minnesota and Utah and all but 11 US states. I doubt the WaPo would refer to Utah as a small state.
