    Colombian President and world leader are 2 words each, but one choice is more informative than the other

      I think the title change is to prevent people trivializing what a leader says based on the size of the country.

          True, but only if you exclude Russia. About 3.9 million square kilometers of Russia lies on the European continent. Columbia is 1.1 million km2. The next largest country in Europe is Ukraine at .6 million km2 then France at .5 million km2. Columbia is by no means a tiny country. According to this Wikipedia page, it ranks 25th largest in the world in terms of surface area.
