- koliber 3y agoPercentage wise Andora is killing it!
- koliber 3y agoLooking further Brunei and East Timur are also huge winners.
- MrZander 3y agoI wonder which country got the biggest relative bump in territory. Vatican City is probably a contender, and Timor-Leste nabbed a huge part of Australia.
- runarberg 3y agoI think Iceland and New Zealand are also contenders. Iceland absorbs all of Greenland, large portion of Nunavut, and a sizable chunk of Alaska. New Zealand grabs a large part of Antarctica. I think though if Nuuk were to be included the dynamics of Iceland would change significantly, and similar if you include New Zealand’s already claimed territory on the Antarctic, then their gains are less impressive.
