That’s not unique, the Romanian province of Moldova (46 173 km^(2)) is 36.4% larger than the Republic of Moldova, even when including Transnistria (33 851 km^(2)). Without Transnistria it is 52% larger.
Well, give it back.
Know the difference:
* Luxembourg – Richest region in Europe
* also Luxembourg – One of the poorest places in Western Europe
Edit: GDP is respectively inflated in Luxembourg (country) and deflated in Luxembourg (province) by commuters.
TIL there’s a Belgian province called Luxembourg.
Well, i’m guessing the next time Luxembourg wants anything from the EU, Belgium is going to block them until they rename themselves into “Eastern Luxembourg” now.
I mean it’s not something unique, but still interesting nonetheless.
I was this years old when I found out there is a province called Luxembourg too. This is getting out of hand!
Irredentism go brrrrrr
Belgium should relinquish the province to the duchy. That would ease the housing problem /s
Man, Luxembourg wins the least original award, everything is named the same thing.
Big pp small pp
I created this map, which was originally posted on r/MapPorn, it would have been nice if you mentioned the source 🙂

Anyway, here is the original post (with some extra info in the comments): [https://www.reddit.com/r/MapPorn/comments/13j43x8/the_belgian_province_of_luxembourg_is_71_bigger/](https://www.reddit.com/r/MapPorn/comments/13j43x8/the_belgian_province_of_luxembourg_is_71_bigger/)
Clearly a case here of bigger is not always better
If we were Belgium we would already have vetoed Luxembourg /s
You can go to Luxembourg in Luxembourg next to Luxembourg
I never understood how country this small can even work and to my knowledge – work well 🤔
