It's ridiculous. It's not even funny. Eleven.

If the US could some how get a hold of Canada they could be #1. Until then, Russia still holds the ice monopoly.

By the end of this century, global warming will make Siberia suitable for agriculture, while the climate in the European part of Russia, including Moscow, will shift from moderate continental to tropical.

You want Russia... AND funny?
I got it covered, hold my borsch!

Interesting consideration.

Would be pretty crazy, I don't think 1 government could rule a piece of land that large for a long period of time, when nations control so much territory, it usually results in fragmentation. Although for the US+Canada it might work because there's no ocean separation which makes a "united country" feel more united.

just never get involved in a land war in Asia.

They need even more land from their neighbours because they have so very little! /s

I know a lot of it is uninhabitable realistically but ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥'s a big place 😨

Most of it is inhabitable, just that it's not worth inhabiting at the moment because they don't have enough population to warrant it. Yakutsk for example is built on an actual ice shelf so people living there are constantly melting the land below them and so their houses are constantly sinking and it has an average temperature of 18(-8C) degrees and can get as low as -84(-64C), and it still houses 300,000 people.

I mean it is part of their programming.

I like the idea of a railway from Paris to New York

Considering we've had way more fossil fuels in the past, by this logic Moscow would've been as cold as Siberia is now, many years ago.
