I've always thought this kind of comparison wasn't as meaningful as "how many square km of the planet does your passport grant you access to? Countries vary in size too much.
- joosters 12y agoHow is that more meaningful, unless you value every square kilometer of Siberia, for instance? Or you could argue that having access to all of the seas without a passport means that the per-km2 value of a passport is actually relatively small? :)
- bane 12y agoSuppose your passport only granted you access to 4 countries. Mine gets me to Russia, Canada, the U.S. and China. Yours gets you to Grenada, Malta, Maldives and Saint Kitts and Nevis (ignoring the EU for a moment). Which one is "more powerful"? Obviously mine is since I get to enjoy most of the landmass of the Northern Hemisphere while yours gets you access to a handful of minor island nations.
