How big is Russia? Below are some figures I've read recently.
Russia has the largest landmass of any nation, more than twice the size of Canada, which comes second.
Russia has a population of about 145 million people; it's smaller than Nigeria but slightly larger than Mexico. The ethnic Russians in Russia are not replacing themselves (low birth rate).
Russia's GNP (1.7 trillion) is larger than that of Brazil but smaller than that of places beginning with the letter C: Canada (1.8 trillion), California (3.3 trillion) and China (16.8 trillion).
Russia leads the world in weapons of mass destruction, if they work. I suppose NATO, grouped together, is bigger.
