County or Country...because Russia is about twice the size of the US
russia
Brazil.
Russia is bigger than Canada in terms of both population and land.
The US and Russia are both large, powerful, and influential countries that have nuclear arsenals, and that are permanent members of the UN Security Council; both nations were allies during both WW I and WW II, who helped defeat Germany and its allies twice (although Russia did pull out of WW I before its conclusion).
As Russia is so large the closest US state to its size is the largest, which is Alaska.
The US did not change the capital of Russia, Russia is quite a large country and is not heavily influenced by other countries. When Russia did change its capital it was because there was a change in government in their own country not because of the US.
Twice as large
The United States is 3,794,000 square miles large, and South America is 6,888,000 square miles large. The US is 55.08% of the size of South America. South America is 1.815 times the size of the US. So ultimately to answer your question, No, the US is not twice as large as South America but is almost half the size (3,444,000 mi2).
Russia Is Twice The Size Of The USA
In the US, Texas and Alaska are the largest states. Worldwide, Russia is the biggest country.
