I thought so too before moving here, but there's two cities, and a lot of empty space (in the north in particular) with lots of towns and villages, it's not like Monaco or the Vatican City in that regard.

That being said, it's still all very close together, you can drive from the northern most point to the south in about 1.5-2 hours.

The funniest thing I've learned about the geography is that there is a North/South divide where people from either don't trust people from the other.

Schengen - the village in Luxembourg where the Schengen Agreement was signed. The population was 5196 in 2023 (appears to be the last census quoted on Wikipedia) and the "Schengen Area", covered by the agreement represents 450m people.

I'd never really thought about until now, but do Chinese (specifically mandarin speaking) 3 year olds use Ma in place of the English speaking equivalent of "why" (repeated ad nauseum until the adult being questioned snaps!)?

It's either Nasal or Aural, and I'm actually not sure which would least worst

I actually disagree with that, if I saw a larger gentleman wearing this I'd feel proud of him for owning his thing with self-depracating humour, and think it was funny, the same as I do here.

It's Latin for "a person not welcome"
