Tiny Eritrea?

Tiny Eritrea.
Yes.
I now know that the CIA World Fat Book have Eritrea ranked as the 101st biggest out of 252 countries in terms of size.
Eritrea, I now know, I've not been there.
Eritrea is definitely not tiny.
And I have to say, as somebody from Wales, the country that often gets referred to as the standard shorthand for small countries, I feel particularly bad for having let that get through.
Eritrea, it turns out, is six times the size of my homeland, Wales.
For obvious reasons, I now will never ever refer to any country by its size alone.
Thanks for downloading the More or Less podcast from the BBC.
The programme's off air at the moment, but brain culture continues here.
In the third and final episode of his series examining neuroscience and society, the former number 10 strategy head Matthew Taylor looks at politics and mind control, asking if new knowledge about the human brain will allow us to make better choices or leave us open to ever more manipulation.
Brain Culture was presented by Matthew Taylor.
The producer was me, Mukul Devachand.
For our terms of use, please go to the BBC website.
And that's the end of Brain Culture, but of course not the end of brainy podcasts.
Because if you download this podcast next week, Tim Harford and the team will be back with their uniquely numerate take on the world in more or less.
