Your link to wikipedia states:
----------------
"The coastline paradox states that a coastline has no single fixed
length. "
...
"Note that the scales at which the CIA World Factbook figures were
measured are not stated, nor is it known whether the figures are all
reported using the same scale. The figures are not necessarily
comparable across different countries."
----------------
This disussion is completely meningless. The figures simply are not
comparable.
