Trans-Siberian Railway
Since Russia is physically the largest country in the world, trains became a necessity. They have the longest railway system called the Trans-Siberian Railway. This railway travels from the country's European side all the way to the Asian Pacific coast. It takes 152 hours to complete a full trip.
Country Rivalry
Russia and the United States have always had a bitter rivalry. The two superpowers had high tensions during the Cold War, which divided the world. The two countries are pretty different ideologically. Funny enough, they own two pieces of land right next to each other. In the Bering Strait, the island of Big Diomede belongs to Russia and the island of Little Diomede belongs to the US. The distance between the two? Two miles.
