Large in terms of population, yeah...but usually largest is used to define size/area etc.
usually defined?.... by whom?....
then Britain and France and the Dutch should be in which place?.....
Nation means people.So largest nation means largest population.So @Species is correct in his assertion.
Geographic size is one of the weakest parameter for a country to project power and influence.More important are population size,size of economy,technological advancement,engagement in world politics etc.
some good points indeed!
but you may need to add the most important resource.... intellectual power....
that is what defines HOW to use population, economy, technology, military, etc....
the rise of Bangladesh currently is in the intellectual realm..... the state is still technologically not in a very high position.... poverty is still there among a good number of people.... the military capability is still limited... the economy is not one of the largest (though very important if we consider Indian Ocean Rim)....
intellectual power is what has give Bangladesh an upper hand in world diplomacy.... IORA Summit in Jakarta, IPU conference in Dhaka, recognition to Kosovo, Chairmanship of OPCW, buying of submarine.... there are many.... and pipeline is very very long in the coming days.... just wait and see...
