What the numbers say about Liechtenstein
- Russia, the largest place listed, is 123,672× the size of Liechtenstein.
- On a standard web map (Web Mercator), a place at 47°N is drawn about 2.2× too large in area, so Liechtenstein looks bigger there than it is.
- Laid out flat, Liechtenstein's main territory stretches about 24 km north to south and 11 km east to west.
- Our measured 137 km² is 14% below Wikidata's official figure of 161 km². Official figures can include inland water or count land that an outline draws differently. This difference is flagged for review.
