  Poor and Small are comparatives. Compared to the UK, USA, France, Italy, Germany, China, Russia and on and on: Azerbaijan is poor and small. It ranks 112th in the world for size, 99th for population, 86th for GDP. When comparing things, especially when it's relevant to the subject (facebook doesn't care about comparatively small and poor countries) then it is not offensive. Unless you want to take offence.

    It's average, about the population size of Sweden, would anyone call sweden small? The problem is that the title deflects from the issue which is not that these countries are poor (Azb is rich enough to run an extensive laundering operation to whitewash their corruption). Facebook does the same in Turkey for example, and who knows how many other countries.

      > would anyone call sweden small? Yes. I think everyone calls Sweden small. Probably even Swedes themselves. Sweden is small and rich.
