The video talks about weather countries take the topography of the land into account when measuring the official land area of a country. And at the end talks about which countries would gain the most land if topography is taken into account.
Might work as a concept if you’re herding yak
Always +1 for Matt! Brilliant video.
Unfortunately I don’t have the time to watch _right now_, but it sounds like this video once again establishes the supremacy of Graubünden.
Absolutely love this kind of geek question!
tldr; Switzerland 3D surface is 7% bigger than the 2D traditional figure (41,285 km2), which makes it bigger than the Netherlands (41,543 km2 in 2D) and possibly Denmark (42,933 km2 in 2D).
