- RestlessMind 14y agoI do not have scientific data about this, but shouldn't smaller territories and city-states (Singapore, Hongkong etc) be easier to govern compared to actual big countries?
- uvdiv 14y agoSingapore is the same size as Norway, Finland, and Denmark. They're all small. I have no clue.
- NiekvdMaas 14y agoMaybe in population, but Singapore is not even 0.2% of the size of Norway...
- pm90 14y agoSingapore is not the same size as the Nordic countries. Norway: 148,746 sq mi Finland: 130,596 sq mi Denmark: 16,562 sq mi Singapore: 274 sq mi
