I have more random facts: The Pacific Ocean is bigger than all land on earth combined. You can fit 34 million Vatican Citys in Russia. Monaco with 40,000 people has a similar GDP to Somalia with about 17 million. The sun never sets UK and France because of overseas territories. India has a higher population than all of Africa. And yet, France and UK each have a higher GDP than Africa. In Czechia, beer is cheaper than water.

Australia is a bit of a debate. Depends if you are counting those that are part of Oceana (like Fiji, Palau, Somoa, etc), which I think you have to do. With all of those there are 14 in Australia. North America has way more than that. A lot of people think North America is just Canada, US and Mexico, but all of Central America is technically in North America, as well as all of the Caribbean island nations.

You used kilometres for distances but then switched to inches? Are you using the metric system or not? I'm from South Africa and we went 100% metric in 1961 (when Mzansi left the Commonwealth - we rejoined later). So inches mean nothing to me.

In #2, 5 of the 'stans' used to be part of the Soviet Union--Kazakh-, Tajik-, Turkmen-, Uzbek- and Kyrgyz-, and #1 is the home of Baikonur--Russia's Cape Canaveral. If the water between the arctic islands of Canada were removed, the US would be bigger than Canada, but it would still be ridiculously close. I'm not certain what your point was when talking about S. America, and bringing in Antarctica, but it sounded more than a bit questionable, since they're each continents on their own. On this side of the pond, "The Americas" is considered 2 continents--N.A. and S.A., with the Caribbean lands being part of the North portion. You neglected to clarify whether the #67 tree is a redwood or a Sequoia. Since the trunk is rather stocky, I'm going to guess Sequoia. You dropped the ball on #77, as the north coast of Alaska (USA) also faces the Arctic Ocean--from the NW corner to the Canadian border. Just an FYI, the last time I updated my list of international airports here in the USA, it stood at 156.
