| If you take the 15 republics of the USSR and add the Grand Duchies of Finland and Poland that were in the Russian Empire until the 1917 Revolutions, then you have 12 (or over a quarter) of the 46 dwarfed countries, the exceptions being Russia, Moldova, Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan. Surprisingly for me, out of all the small countries that came from the breakups of Yugoslavia and Czechoslovakia, only Slovenia's area is much smaller than the combined areas of her neighbo[u]rs. Moldova is small compared to Russia, which she no longer borders, but not dwarfed by Romania plus the Ukraine. |
