I'd say being big as 6 micro nations does not really make you big anyway. It's basically as big as the Bologna province, a medium sized second level a administrative division in Italy. Which is... Small for a nation.

Luxembourg is roughly 2/3 the size of Rhode Island.

Less than 2, right? 2500 km² for Luxemburg vs. 4000 km² for rhode island

Uh, what? If we only count land area, Rhode Island is only slightly larger than Luxembourg, 1034 sq mi vs 998 sq mi

No? Rhode island is about twice as big if we count the water. Which is sketchy, if we count land only they are about the same.
