Given the current spat over diplomatic expulsions between Russia and the United States an interesting question is: who has more diplomats? The US expelled 35 Russian diplomats. Assuming that Russia does the same and the process continues, who will run out of diplomats first? Does the US have more diplomats in Russia, than Russia has in the US, or vice versa?
