Size Comparison?

[FPI]

Does anyone know how the size of the DR compares to the US or any other country? Thank you!

The DR is a little smaller than the United States.

Re: A little smaller?

If you want to compare the DR to someplace in the US, try South Carolina. The whole island is about the size of Indiana.

The D.R. takes up about two thirds of the Island of Hispaniola. It's about 19,000 square miles. The whole island is about the size of the U.S. state of South Carolina. The biggest island in the west indies is Cuba followed by Hispaniola followed by Puerto Rico.

Isn't Jamaica the third largest island?

Of course you are correct. I overlooked Jamica because from where I live it has been hidden recently by Cuba.
