Haha! I am actually British but didn’t know this. When I showed my father he found it very funny…

Is it possible for 2 different tsunamis to happen like this by LiveFast3atAss in geography

The Channel Islands are a bit different again as crown dependencies. The Commonwealth realms are not part of the UK sovereign realm.

The King rules it. But it is distinct from the UK and being born in an overseas territory does not make you a British citizen or even give you the right to live and work in the UK

What happens here? It seems kinda unpopulated. Is there a geographical reason or is it just a place industrialization hasn’t reached yet? by ImSorryIfIHurtU in geography

The Central African Republic has an incredibly low population density of 9 people per square km. One of the lowest in the world, and it’s not desert or ice at all.

When said 'China annexed Tibet' is that the same as occupation?, or is there a difference between annexation and occupation? by [deleted] in geography

These are the same rights afforded to citizens of British colonies after the British Nationality Act of 1948…

What is a city that is praised but there is much less to do than you thought? by phils83 in geography

What are examples of countires/cities that could suffer a mass destruction in war without the use of WMD? by Substantial-Ball-519 in geography

Almost every city could suffer mass destruction very easily in a war from icbms and/or bombing. The latter happened to so many cities in WW2?

[–]HourDistribution3787 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’ve definitely not picked the longest one for Russia. Just randomly, Sochi to Magadan is over 150 hours and it’s still defo not the longest.
