How big are the UK and Ireland compared to California?
Posted: August 7, 2017 Filed under: Ireland, the California Condition 2 Comments
The UK: 65.64 million people. 93,629 square miles.
California: 39.25 million people. 163,996 square miles.
Ireland: 4.773 million people. 32,595 square miles.
In 1841 the population of Ireland (just counting what’s now the Republic, not the whole island) was 6.53 million.

Ireland is like a ghost town.
Today’s radical policy suggestion:
Ireland should take in two million refugees. Much as the world once took them in. It’s time to return the favor. Two million refugees would return the nation to pre-1841 population.
Today’s question:
Are there other countries where the population is significantly smaller today than it was around 1840?

You don’t appear to realise that England is not UK.
England is a country. Scotland is a country
UK is a Unitary State.
England + Wales = Britain
Britain + Scotland = Great Britain
GB + Northern Ireland = UK
Yes, sloppy use of terms in my title
