Economic tiesAustralia and Russia are both members of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum. Simon Crean, the Australian Minister for Trade stated in October 2008 that Australia supports Russia's application to join the World Trade Organization.
The country's economy fell apart with the 1991 implosion of the Soviet Union. Poverty is widespread, living standards are low and, typical of a non-developed country, the exportation of natural resources fuels much of Russia's economy. Russia is borderline at best on most developed-country metrics.
India vs Russia: Economic Indicators ComparisonIndia with a GDP of $2.7T ranked the 7th largest economy in the world, while Russia ranked 11th with $1.7T. By GDP 5-years average growth and GDP per capita, India and Russia ranked 6th vs 162nd and 150th vs 68th, respectively.
About three years ago its GDP overtook Australia's. Indonesia will have the tenth largest economy in the world in 2030, when its GDP will be twice the size of Australia's, according to a recent study by PricewaterhouseCoopers. By 2050 it will be ranked seventh, with a GDP perhaps three times Australia's.

Happily, most winters don't come close to the bone-chilling -90 F/ -68 C temp of the remote village of Oymyakon in Russian Siberia, which is often known as the coldest city on Earth.
Australia is approximately 7,741,220 sq km, while Canada is approximately 9,984,670 sq km, making Canada 29% larger than Australia. Meanwhile, the population of Australia is ~25.5 million people (12.2 million more people live in Canada).
Africa is 3.93 times as big as AustraliaAt about 30.3 million km2 (11.7 million square miles) including adjacent islands, it covers 6% of Earth's total surface area and 20% of its land area.
Australia is about 32 times bigger than United Kingdom.United Kingdom is approximately 243,610 sq km, while Australia is approximately 7,741,220 sq km, making Australia 3,078% larger than United Kingdom.
Like the snow that reflects incoming solar radiation in Siberia, the ice bounced the sun's heat back toward space. But as Earth has warmed, there's less sea ice covering the Arctic Ocean, leaving behind dark waters that absorb much more heat.
It has an area of nearly 7.7 million square kilometres and is the sixth largest nation on earth. Australia is 20.6 times bigger than Japan, 14 times bigger than France and 2.4 times bigger than India. At almost 24 million people, the population of Australia is, however, relatively small.
China is about 1.2 times bigger than Australia.Australia is approximately 7,741,220 sq km, while China is approximately 9,596,960 sq km, making China 24% larger than Australia.
The Siberian town of Verkhoyansk is one of the coldest inhabited places on Earth. The temperature in this city can drop to minus 40 degrees Celsius during an average winter.
Antarctica has no permanent residents. At least 11 children have been born in Antarctica. The first was Emilio Marcos Palma, born on 7 January 1978 to Argentine parents at Esperanza, Hope Bay, near the tip of the Antarctic peninsula.
By most standards, there is a maximum of seven continents - Africa, Antarctica, Asia, Australia/Oceania, Europe, North America, and South America. Many geographers and scientists now refer to six continents, in which Europe and Asia are combined (because they're one solid landmass).

Russia is the world's biggest country by land area, while the United States is either the third or the fourth largest (China's claims to territories disputed by other countries, especially India, will determine which of the two countries is bigger than the other), with 17,098,242 sqm and 9,826,675 sqm, respectively.
What is capital of Russia?
Antarctica is known for being the highest, driest, coldest and windiest continent on earth. Although there are no native Antarcticans and no permanent residents or citizens of Antarctica, many people do live in Antarctica each year.
Polar bears live in the Arctic, but not Antarctica. Down south in Antarctica you'll find penguins, seals, whales and all kinds of seabirds, but never polar bears. Even though the north and south polar regions both have lots of snow and ice, polar bears stick to the north. Polar bears don't live in Antarctica.
The Mercator projection, the most popular world map, distorts the size of the shape of landmasses near the pole. This results in Russia looking bigger than Africa. Actually Africa can nearly fit two Russias. In fact, Africa has an area of 11.73 million square miles while Russian one is only 6.6 million square miles.
Russia is not so big as it is often shown on geographical maps. The Mercator projection used to show the surface of the Earth on a flat sheet of paper distorts the size of the land mass as the latitude increases from the Equator to both poles. So Russia is almost twice (53 percent) smaller than shown on maps.
It's all down to the European cartographer Geert de Kremer, better known as Mercator, and his 16th century map projection – a common template for world maps today – which distorts the size of countries.
