Introduction

A country’s size may seem like little more than its depiction on a map, but a country’s size has always been important. The physical size of a country will limit its total population, or at least the total possible population. That is why countries have long started wars to expand their territory.

To add, the size of a nation is important as is the geography of the state. For instance, some nations, like Britain, are considered lucky due to the size and location of their country. Being situated just off mainland Europe, a small island nation with a variety of natural resources, that included coal and which helped spur the Industrial Revolution in Britain. Furthermore, not being too large enabled Britain to develop the interior of the nation with some relative speed.

Even though the smallest countries by area and population largely overlap, there are outliers on both sides. Some countries will have a large area (measured in either kilometers squared or miles squared) but a small population while others will be small physically but densely populated. The factor that will make the most difference here is the purpose of the land, whether it is urban or farmland.
