That's side to side, not end to end.
[i:post_uid0]And there are also Liechtenstein, Andorra, San Marino... teeny weeny countries![/i:post_uid0]
But those aren't real countries. Liechtenstein is a rental property, Andorra is co-ruled by France and a Spanish bishop, Monaco is destined to become French when the Prince dies without heir...
There are a bunch of Pacific nations with a greater share of the globe than Singapore but less land area, since they consist of some specks of coral and vast tracts of water.
According to this, (http://en2.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_area) Singapore ranks 174 of 193.
Slovenia is 150, Croatia 123, Israel 149, Nederlands 131, Canada 2, USA 4. Did I miss anyone?
Ontario ranks between Bolivia and Mauritania (27 and 28), Quebec between 18 and 19 (Mongolia and Peru)*, Saskatchewan between 39 and 40 (Myanmar and Afghanistan) and BC between 30 and 31 (Tanzania and Nigeria).
* - this seems wrong. I was always led to believe that Ontario was the largest province, not Quebec. Maybe there's some trickery counting freshwater area - or possibly my teachers were all Anglo propagandists. Or my memory is faulty. That seems most likely.

[color=#000000:post_uid0]In terms of smallness most of the Western Isles is comprised of very small villages. In Achmor where I lived for a while (and where my dad still does) the population can't have been more than 60 or 70 people. Of course most of the villages run into each other (they tend to be strung along the roads), it's kind of difficult to quantify the population sometimes. There can't be more than 20000 people in the whole of the Western Isles - about half of that is actually concentrated in Stornoway.[/color:post_uid0]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]That Chakotay detector, is that standard too? I mean, maybe that's exactly why he keeps crashing all the time. You see, if it shuts down the propulsion systems, that would mean the shuttle crashes.

I have just read the Shockwave, Part I fiver (since I`ve only seen the episode for the first time last week), and came across a - chakotaymeter! According to Zeke, it`s a device in Enterprise`s shuttlepods that detects pilot errors. Very curious indeed how I thought of the Chakotay Detector just a few hours before I completely accidentally went reading the Shockwave fiver. :D
Still, about the Chakotay Detector... it scans the passengers BEFORE the shuttle takes off, :p And if Chakotay is one of the passengers, it freezes. This came after Voyager returned home in Endgame. The first thing that happened was the ship crashing in the Pacific Ocean, since the First Officer was at the helm. The second thing was the immediate invention of the Chakotay Detector. :D[/color:post_uid0]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]10 years after "Endgame" - Chakotay, having been forced out of Starfleet due to the number of complaints about him shedding leaves, turns to politics. After a hard fought election, he becomes governor of the lunar settlements (after his opponents in the race all mysteriuosly disappear). The day after he takes office, the entire moon mysteriously begins to plunge towards Earth.
As opposed to Janway of course, who would merely lose it in the Gamma Quadrant for seven years.[/color:post_uid0]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]All Federation starships would start crashing down, until there would be none left. The Romulans would then move in and peacefully take control of the entire Federation. The former capital of the Federation would be renamed into San Romulanisco. Romulan-style hairdo would become a smash hit. Picard and Janeway would probably discuss resistance actions. He`d propose talk and diplomacy, while she`d take out compression phaser rifles. They would eventually find a compromise - compression phaser rifles. But it wouldn`t work. Seven of Nine would modify a few nanoprobes, and while the Romulans are distracted by Kira Nerys screaming, a powerful substance known as The Coffee, Black, would be Borgified into something even more powerful. A battle for independence would begin.

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Well, okay, if you really want me to get lost in the paint aisle :smile:...
Okay, I think I matched it. Black doesn't stand out very well against the new red, so I had to flip-flop the text colors. But now the color scheme kinda matches the forum's scheme better, so maybe that counts as an improvement.
And the numbering has been corrected. :)
(Edit) I should add that the page is not linked to the rest of my site in any way. It's just there for those who visit these forums; no need for people who have never even visited 5MV to see it and possibly get the "wrong" impressions about us ;)[/color:post_uid0]
