What's the largest country in the world?
What do you think the largest country in the world is? I'll give you a hint, it starts with an R...
Did you guess...
...Russia?
That's right. Russia is the largest country in the world.
@El2002snow What is a country?
@El2002snow
I initially guess Romania 😁
Russia has the longest railway.
@El2002snow
The largest country in the world? That's easy! It's the one where even the maps need a coffee break halfway through – Russia! 😄
@El2002snow
My first thought was China, but you said largest country not population. So, initially I got it wrong because I read it wrong but yeah, it's Russia.
@El2002snow This is a fun topic. Got me to google for the smallest country. And the most populated country by land mass.
@El2002snow
The country I was born in! Growing up as a kid I was somehow so proud to know that it was the largest country in the world😂
@schrodingerscattt Funny because I was born in that country too!
@El2002snow
Omg! Hi fellow Russian born!! Do you know how to speak Russian? I know how to speak and write it,but I make tons of mistakes when I write😂
@schrodingerscattt I do know how to speak it and write it. :)
@schrodingerscattt well, not write it, but I can understand it in text to speech (I'm blind)
@El2002snow I know it is Russia because that is what you meant and Russia begins with an R. But by land mass only, is Antarctica bigger? I'm not 100% positive that Antarctica is a country, but ... Australia is a country AND it is a continent... so it's possible, right? (and no, I'm not going to look it up by google.) #Learning #TrainYourBrain! <3 Platy

RUSSIA
@El2002snow This picture is a massive trigger
@7cupsCommunity and perhaps @ASilentObserver ? or @Hope (sorry I forget who is in charge of forum things overall)
@cyanPlatypus6370 I'm not being a troll, there is no need to call admin. I live in Ukraine, so due to all of my friends that have died over the last two years, a picture of the Russian flag is a massive trigger for me. Understand?
@cyanPlatypus6370 Maybe I should elaborate. I have had a lot of friends die here, but my best friend was killed on Christmas Eve. He was 37. I didn't find out until a couple of weeks after. I didn't notice it at the time, but I have been suffering from severe grief ever since. Not just over my best friend, it's like his death brought up all the grief I have been experiencing over the last two years. I have been looking for a place to talk about this, but it's difficult to find somewhere. I used to come on this forum a few years ago when I had depression, so I decided to come back. I saw this Around the World section and thought that would be good for me. One of the first things I see is the Russian flag. It completely triggered what I had come here to deal with. Maybe that makes more sense to you now.
my post might need a trigger warning (war, conflict)
@GCHJVB7978 I was not "calling admin" on you. I didn't know which part of which picture was triggering for you and I wanted to call attention to your post to someone besides me. I wrote those names hoping that someone would reach out to you and inquire how you are doing, mental health question.
I am thankful that you added your explanation. The original post here (first post, at top) just by having the correct answer as "Russia," well ... the conflict, war, death, need to leave everything: home, family, jobs and flee. 💔 It has affected me, too; just in a much different way. I do not want to claim any ancestry from Russia or Ukraine at this time. Because when one side speaks up, the other side is ... 💔 well, it is hard and I wish there didn't have to be "sides."

Thank you for your clarification, GCHjv. ❤ I am thankful that I and my family are almost on the other side of the world from the areas of fighting in Ukraine (and Russia) and also from Israel, Palestine, Gaza Strip, etc. There are so many conflicts, war, fighting for one's own life in our world, even today.
I know there are MANY humans who are severely impacted 💔 by these warring conflicts *daily, 💔 *nightly,* and around the clock. ❤ Take care, our friends who live there!! ❤
As much as you are able, and I know you already are, take care and do your best. We over here in another part of the world are praying for you. We care about you! and we have not forgotten about you, your courage, and your resilience.
💙💛Sending many, 💙💛many hugs 💙💛and a few specifically for you, GCHjv :)
Your friend, Platy 💔 💛 🧡 love 💙 💜
