Trivial Pursuit! (which means you can't Google!) What are the 5 largest countries by area?

Russia
Canada
United States
Brazil
India

(Unless we were also counting territorial waters as part of the country, in which case Indonesia would move up to a place on the list.)

China has to be in there. I think it probably crowds out Brazil.

The

Uh..Australia, China, Russia, US, India?

No google. Russia, Canada, US, I’m not sure about China? It’s very populated, but I don’t know if it’s very big. Brazil sounds good. It’s pretty big, about half of South America. I hadn’t thought of it on my own, but saw it above in answers and it sounds like a good guess.

1. Russia
2. Canada
3. Brazil
4. China
5. USA

My guesses were:
Russia
Canada
China
India
USA

China, Russia, Canada, Australia, Antarctica (no specific order)

But Antarctica is not a country.

So when do we get the answer? Australia HAS to be one of them.

What is it then? A land mass? A continent? Sure, but does a land mass have to have a permanent population to be a country?

A country has a government recognized by other governments.

Russia > 6 million square miles.

Canadia: about 3.8 million sm.

China: about 3.7 million sm.

US: about 3,615,000 sm.

Brazil: about 3,233,000 sm.

I think Australia is next: about 2.8 million sm.

India: 1,221,000 sm.

Argentina: a little over 1 million sm.

Russia, USA, Canada, China and Brazil.

Antarctica is one of the continents, while Australia is distinct in being both a country and a continent.

Maybe you should’ve included copying other answers as well as google :D

@ucme Well it’s not like we have a lot if big countries to choose from…

Ok, I’ll bite. I’m not looking at other answers or any maps. Here’s my guess. (I hope I don’t embarrass myself too much.

Russia
Canada
United States
Brazil
Greenland

Australia, China might be in there but I will stick with my guess.

Of course not, but other answers written write above where you’re meant to compose your own is a far bigger cheat risk than that which googling poses, if you’re of that mindset of course.
Never mind, no biggie anyway, just a throwaway observation is all…

Dutchesses’s question reminded me I never gave the answer.

Geohive – The 50 largest (area) countries in the world

I still think Antarctica is a country

@rojo Thank you for reminding me. I did want to include the continent (not country) of Antarctica in the list.

Special mention
Antarctica…14,000,000 sq. km / 5,405,428 sq. miles

I had it in my spreadsheet and forgot to copy it over.
