	Accordng to your source the Caspian Sea is the worlds largest lake and Baikal is #2 by volume.

	New Zealand didn't declare independence in 1840, that was actually when it became part of the British Empire i.e. official sovereignty over it was declared. Whilst it soon had home rule, that's not really the same thing as independence. To be honest, I think the question itself may be worth changing, as its also a debatable whether the US has the 'first independence date from the UK' - it kind of depends on what you mean by the UK, how far back in history you look etc.

	Wow, I didn't realize Pirates of the Caribbean made that much money. I totally expected it to be Star Wars.

	@nspyred: I chose to not use the Caspian because most people consider it to be an oceanic sea. For simplicity I went with the top two bodies of water that are universally deemed to be lakes. Thanks for the feedback!

	@peterlockwood87: The only site that I could find that even attempted to list countries by date of independence from Britain/UK/England was Wikipedia, so I went with their information. I admittedly am not well-versed on New Zealand history, so I am in no way arguing your point. And I went back and forth on what to call the UK/Britain/England in the question, ultimately deciding that it wouldn't matter to most people, so I went with the shortest: UK. I know a lot of the question was debatable, but I thought it was a fun one to include, so I went with it. Thanks for the feedback!
