I agree, the assumption is that both shops are good, of
course :) If one is bad, no matter the size of it, don't go
there :)

What I mean is, for example, that the Russian Federation has
a population of 144 386 830 [1]

While the Czech Republic (or is it Czechia today? do tell,
I don't know) has 10 707 839 [2]

And land area: 17 125 191 km2 vs 78 866 km2 ...

Forest: (in thousand hectares) Czechia isn't even on the
Europe top 17 list! where we can't help to note that

1  Sweden     28 073
2  Finland    22 218

:)

Still, that's nothing compared to the global #1, namely

   Russia    885 000 [3]

And so on.

This is what I mean.

China? What does that have to do with anything? But sure, it
is a big shop alright :)
