Monaco is so tiny it fits into Berlin's Tempelhofer Feld (a circular park inside the city).

I mean, you're not wrong, but Tempelhofer is also a former airport, so had to be quite big. And since Brexit, Berlin is the biggest city in the EU.

Paris? I mean, if we are considering the wide area. Otherwise London wouldn’t have been considered the largest.

So, basically a single BYD factory

Monaco is 2 km^2 [1].

I'm confused because if I assume each rack takes up 1 square meter I get a much smaller footprint: around 12 hectares or 17 football fields.

And that assumes that the installation is one floor. I don't know much about data centers but I would have thought they'd stack them a bit.

Am I the only person who had to look up how big Monaco was?

To put Monaco in perspective, the US could fit 4.8M Monacos

To put Rhode Island in perspective, it would hold 1,340 Monacos.
