    It's actually about the same size as Bosnia (possibly larger by now,
    it's been about 4 years since I last compared the two). The population
    might be equal to Berlin. ACtually, Melbourne might be the same size as
    Berlin, but I do know it is almost exactly the same size and shape as
    Bosnia.
