“If Facebook were a country, it would be the eighth most populated in the world, just ahead of Japan, Russia and Nigeria,” Zuckerberg said on the company’s blog.

While it is not a principality, it does have members in 170 countries and territories who use more than 35 languages, according to the blog entry.

And they are not limited in age to college students, among whom Facebook got its start.
