Somalia is HUGE!! How big?? compare Somalia to United states!!

[thegoodshepherd]

Somalia is as long as the eastern seaboard of the United states

[tmac]

With a population barely scratching 10 million.

I think u can fit 10 Somalia into the U.S, end in end.

[COOL-MAN]

It's bigger three times than Great Britain if that's a consolation

[GAMES]

Somalia's population isn't 10 million. The 10 million is from the 1970's when the last census was conducted. If anything, it's 20 million people. And that's not even counting the other million Somalis who fled the war and live outside the country.

Looks massive to me, Somalia is the same size as Texas, even bigger if you include kilil 5 and NFD province. Considering United States covers almost all of North America Somalia is big.
Comparatively per square inch the land inst as useful but considering Somalia's very small population it's perfect to feed, enrich and maintain the Somalis and their neighbours for centuries to come .

[MaliPrince]

only reason this is surprising to people is because Africa is made to look artificially small in most maps.

here is a map that actually shows the continents in scale. look how fukkin huge Africa looks compared to North America and Europe.

[Niya]

Somalia is slightly smaller than Texas and almost as big as France

268,820 mi² (696,241 km²)
Texas, Area

246,201 mi² (637,657 km²)
Somalia, Area

247,367 mi² (640,679 km²)
France, Area

HOWEVER, Somalia overall is sparsely populated.

That will never materialize

[TheMailMan]

Somalia is a very large, sparsely populated country.

I'm sure if the Civil War ends and we have a subsequent rise in our living standards, Somalia could reach 50 million people quite easily

Typical Somali families have 5 or more children. We can easily reach 50 million

[Khalid Ali]

The mail man the civil war begins how can Somalis raise their living standard in the midst of a civil war

Any way Ethnic Demographics means little for Somalis the Tribal Demographics is more important thats what is it all about so the 50 million Somalis how many will be darood hawiye and isaaq digil mirifle and dir . Who will take the price home, who will be the unchallenged Qabiil in the Horn of Africa.

Most countries would kill to be as homogenous as we are (ethnically and religiously), and we're throwing it away on meaningless arbitrary difference like qabil.
