About equal in size to Germany in terms of total area. Japan is #61, Germany #62

But

About 73 percent of Japan is forested, mountainous and unsuitable for agricultural, industrial or residential use.

So by my calculation that puts the 'usable' land at about 102,000 km2, which is roughly equivalent to the size of Iceland!

I can't believe this is the first time I've heard the name Royaume-Uni. My immediate thought was "is this a map of major universities"
