My husband thinks it's hysterical when they say things on the news like 'it is the third biggest country' and then don't proceed to tell us what the top two are. It drives me wild!

third biggest country...i've wondered if it's china or the usa that's bigger. different sources say chat china is bigger and vice versa! do they count macau and HK as part of china? do they count claimed and disputed lands and waters? is taiwan part of the PRC or an independent country?
how about the usa, some count water areas and unincorporated areas and some don't! some only count the land areas of the 50 states, and there's national bias too of course and inconsistency!
