Brilliant. Although I was under the impression the Manhattan was the SI unit of glacial calamity? Distraught by its absence.
-
I think we’re out of the Manhattan range here (the berg is ~85 Manhattans), but I’ll add it
-
Thank you. Using units of measurement inappropriately is a long-standing hobby of mine.
-
If it helps, it’s also 700,000 football pitches
-
Or 71 square kilo-London buses
-
Perfect!

Netherlands: province of Noord-Brabant
-
I have used Gelderland
-
Gelderland is slightly more accurate on land area, but Noord-Brabant is better on total area. Tough choice!
-
I didn't take Gelderland bc I thought that ppl have a poor idea of its actual size. This is native gut feeling
-
what about a Belgian province comparison?
-
Luxembourg (the province), maybe? Still a bit small. Belgium should get some bigger provinces.
-
I guess twice the province of Limburg is pretty close
-
Or 30 times the Brussels Capital Region

Best I can find for Switzerland is Canton Zurich::Appenzell Innherhoden
-
Innerrhoden*
-
Yeah, trying to get the size, not just the ratio. Would probably go with Switzerland as a whole and Valais
-
Nobody will miss it.
