The size of the Equator is zero. But getting around the earth requires a lot of time!

Point taken, but Malmo to Karesuando is only a three day drive (assuming a modest pace, one driver, and good weather.)

And that is reasonable if you think a country should be seen through car windows. If I have, say, a week to visit a country, I will definitely not use three of those days driving.

Which is a lot in Europe (e.g. driving from Warsaw to Barcelona would take about the same)
