Can’t think of any others at the moment but I assume there are a couple more. It’s a bit trickier, since Germany was still divided when I was in grade school.

Many of states of the United States (especially outside the 13 colonies) are bigger than most of Europe’s countries. Which is really a better comparison to memorizing the states.
