I take offense to that diagram; Germany should refuse to be covered by a PDF that's not in proper DIN format.

In theory, DIN paper sizes go all the way from subatomic to the size of the universe. It seems like A(-39) is barely too small to cover Germany's land mass, but A(-40) should be more than sufficient. That's 882 x 1247 km if I didn't miscalculate.

Oh here we go again.
That's actually quite funny, especially because Germany almost has portrait DIN format.
:) I think maybe the joke was a hair too subtle for this crowd.
