And Canada's population is 1/20th that of Europe, yet we all know where that is.

No need to cherry-pick some random metric and try and justify a point that's not worth justifying.

Maybe the English-speaking world. I think most people couldn't place Canada on a map. More people than Ghana or any African country, certainly, but that's because it's more famous. GDP is more correlated to this than population or landmass.

I'm not justifying anything. I also think it's more polite to say "Ghana" rather than "Africa". I just don't agree with the arguments.
