Did you know?

This graphic sort of speaks for itself. I definitely didn't appreciate just how huge Africa was. With all the talk of emerging markets and emerging economies, it's easy to overlook how massive Africa is, and how big its influence could be if it ever got its act together. Also, left unmentioned here is Russia, which has a land mass of about 17 million square kilometers (yeah, I know, we use miles over here in Amurica, but get over it), which is just huge. It's not the USSR any more, but it's still a massive country. Interesting food for thought.
