Congratulations SDMB! Exciting News!

As of today, I noticed that there are 33,198 members of the SDMB.
Now consider the following information:
LIECHTENSTEIN FACTS
Capital: Vaduz
Population: 33,000
Area: 61.8 square miles
Major language: German
Currency: Swiss franc

This means;

THE SDMB IS NOW OFFICIALLY LARGER THAN THE ENTIRE POPULATION OF THE COUNTRY OF LIECHTENSTEIN!!

I licked my stein when I ran out of beer. :slight_smile:

WOOOOHHHOOO!!!

Finally, I’ve been waiting for this moment my entire life.

Hmm … ‘Larger than Liechtenstein’ has a nice ring to it.

Can we issue our own stamps & currency? Do we get a UN seat?

When does the invasion begin?

We shall conquer Leis, Liesch, Liehcsat, that country with our superior numbers and rename it Dopeistan.

It’s a goog tag:

‘The Straightdope Message Board - larger than Liechtenstein, and you can spell it’

‘good’, smelling salts please, matron …

Well, finally. Those damn Lederhosen were starting to chafe.

Or were you looking for the spelling salts?

Actually I was looking for the smelly malts, Patron. It’s mid-evening so I’m allowed a snif of the nectar…

“We surpassed Liechtenstein in population and all I got was this lousy T-shirt.”

cite?

Somebody had to do it!

We shouldn’t invade it, we should rent it for one big massive DopeFest.

registration required to view that link, I think.

“The Straight Dope Message Board - we’re not larger than life, but we’re larger than Liechtenstein!”

I dunno, I’m betting that we had at LEAST 4,000 Serlin and concrete clones…

I’ll bet we’ve got’em beat in area, too.

Count up the area of our respective residences? Perhaps…

Anyway, I’ve compiled a list of what countries (and other random political entities) we’re bigger than! (Estimating our population to be roughly 33,200.)

Anguilla
Antarctica
British Virgin Islands
Cook Islands
External Terrotiries of Austrailia
Falkland Islands
Gibralter
Lichtenstein
Montserrat
Nauru
Nuie
Norfolk
Palau
Saint Helena
Saint Pierre and Miquelon
San Marino
Svalbard and Jan Mayen
Terres Australes
Tokelau
Turks and Caicos Islands
Tuvalu
The Vatican
Wallis and Futuna

Next on our conquest list? At a great population of 33,800, is MONACO! Come on, Dopers! Let’s catch up.

Doesn’t Manaco’s prince do some bobsledding? Honestly, if we can’t pass them up, then we suck. Although, beating the Pope isn’t anything to sneeze at.

Hey, I’ve been there! To give you an idea of the scale, I rented a bicycle and rode all around the main island. Took three hours with stops for lunch and snorkeling.

Bigger than Antarctica, though, that is impressive.
