Size of Wales?
Skankyrich [?] Started conversation Jan 19, 2007
A1066484 gives the size of Wales as 15,000 square kilometres, but most other sources call it around 20,000 - including http://www.bbc.co.uk/wales/culture/sites/aboutwales/pages/geography.shtml
Anyone else think we should be following suit, or have I missed something?

In my Peloponnese entry I said:
"At 21,500km2, the Peloponnese is about the same size as Wales or Massachusetts"
I can't remember what value I used for Wales, but it was clearly around the 20,000 mark.

My Brockhaus gives Wales as having 20,766 km² - if that helps.

Err - you're in trouble now:
>>Belgium is about twice the size of Wales, approximately 30,000 km2.<<
Belgium has in fact a size of 30,518km²

Belgium is bigger than Wales. It's about one and a half times the size, so that two Belgiums are about the same as three Waleses.

Yes, I know, that's why I posted the sentence, you'll have to go and correct that, too.

And I posted my sentence so that Rich could quote it directly and wouldn't have to use that brain thing of his.

Three heads are better than one, eh? Even if they are all saying the same thing at the same time
