Question: What is the total land area of this state in the southern central part of Australia, in which Falie was used for coastal trading?
Context: Zomba District is one of twelve districts in the Southern Region of Malawi, surrounded by the Districts of Chiradzulu, Blantyre, Mulanje, Phalombe, Machinga, Balaka and the Republic of Mozambique to the east.  The total land area is 2,580 km², representing three percent of the total land area of Malawi.  The capital is Zomba. Azerbaijan is situated in the Caucasus region of Eurasia.  Three physical features dominate Azerbaijan: the Caspian Sea, whose shoreline forms a natural boundary to the east; the Greater Caucasus mountain range to the north; and the extensive flatlands at the country's center.  About the size of Portugal or the state of Maine, Azerbaijan has a total land area of approximately 86,600 square kilometers, less than 1% of the land area of the former Soviet Union.  Of the three Transcaucasian states, Azerbaijan has the greatest land area.  Special administrative subdivisions are the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic, which is separated from the rest of Azerbaijan by a strip of Armenian territory, and the Nagorno-Karabakh Autonomous Region, entirely within Azerbaijan.  (The status of Nagorno-Karabakh was under negotiation in 1994.)  Located in the region of the southern Caucasus Mountains, Azerbaijan borders the Caspian Sea to the east, Georgia and Russia to the north, Iran to the south, and Armenia to the southwest and west.  A small part of Nakhchivan also borders Turkey to the northwest.  The capital of Azerbaijan is the ancient city of Baku, which has the largest and best harbor on the Caspian Sea and has long been the center of the republic's oil industry. This is a list of islands of Tasmania, the smallest and southernmost state of Australia.  The Tasmanian mainland itself is an island, with an area of 64,103 km2 - 94.1% of the total land area of the state of Tasmania.  The eleven next largest islands have a combined area of 3,826 km2 , for a cumulative total of 99.75% of the state.  Over 300 smaller islands make up the remaining 173 km2 of total land area. The Philippines is an archipelago that consists of 7,641 islands with a total land area of 301780 km2 .  The 11 largest islands contain 95% of the total land area.  The largest of these islands is Luzon at about 105000 km2 .  The next largest island is Mindanao at about 95000 km2 .  The archipelago is around 800 km from the Asian mainland and is located between Taiwan and Borneo. Forests in Himachal Pradesh currently cover an area of nearly 37,691 sqkm , which is about 38.3% of the total land area of the state.  The forests were once considered to be the main source of income of the state and most of the original forests were clear felled.  The emphasis has shifted, however, from exploitation to conservation.  The state government aims to increase forest cover to 50% of the total land area.  There have been various projects, including the establishment of protected areas such as National Parks, designed to preserve and expand the forests. Falie is a 46 m ketch that traded for many years in Australian waters.  Originally built in 1919 as the motor schooner collier Hollands Trouw, she was purchased by the Spencer's Gulf Transport Company, renamed, and used for coastal trading in South Australia.  The vessel was commissioned into the Royal Australian Navy (RAN) as HMAS "Falie" during World War II, serving first as an inspection vessel primarily patrolling the Port of Sydney, Australia, then as a stores ship. South Australia (abbreviated as SA) is a state in the southern central part of Australia.  It covers some of the most arid parts of the country.  With a total land area of 983482 km2 , it is the fourth-largest of Australia's states and territories.  It has a total of 1.7 million people, and its population is the most highly centralised of any state in Australia, with more than 75 percent of South Australians living in the capital, Adelaide, or its environs.  Other population centres in the state are relatively small. South Australia is an Australian state, situated in the southern central part of the country, and featuring some low-lying mountain ranges, the most significant being the Mount Lofty Ranges, which extend into the state's capital city, Adelaide, which comprises most of the state's population.  Adelaide is situated on the eastern shores of Gulf St Vincent, on the Adelaide Plains, north of the Fleurieu Peninsula, between Gulf St Vincent and the low-lying Mount Lofty Ranges.  The state of South Australia, which stretches along the coast of the continent and has boundaries with every other state in Australia, with the exception of the Australian Capital Territory and Tasmania.  The Western Australia border has a history with South Australia, involving the South Australian Government Astronomer, Dodwell and the Western Australian Government Astronomer, Curlewis in the 1920s to mark the border on the ground. Western Australia (abbreviated as WA ) is a state occupying the entire western third of Australia.  It is bounded by the Indian Ocean to the north and west, the Great Australian Bight and Southern Ocean to the south, the Northern Territory to the north-east and South Australia to the south-east.  Western Australia is Australia's largest state with a total land area of 2,529,875 square kilometres (976,790 sq mi), and the second-largest country subdivision in the world, surpassed only by Russia's Sakha Republic – however, a significant part of it is sparsely populated.  The state has about 2.6 million inhabitants, around 11% of the national total.  Ninety-two per cent of the population lives in the south-west corner of the state. The Krepost Sveaborg was an Imperial Russian system of land and coastal fortifications constructed around Helsinki during the First World War.  The purpose of the fortress was to provide a secure naval base for the Russian Baltic fleet and to protect Helsinki and block routes to Saint Petersburg from a possible German invasion.  Krepost Sveaborg was part of Peter the Great's Naval Fortress, a coastal fortification system protecting access to Saint Petersburg by sea.  The central part of Krepost Sveaborg was the old fortress of Suomenlinna where the fortress headquarters were located.  Due to technological advances in artillery the old fortress was no longer capable of providing a sufficient protection, and a new main defensive line was built well beyond the old fortress boundaries.  New coastal artillery guns built on outlying islands protected Krepost Sveaborg from the sea, while fortified lines constructed around Helsinki were intended to stop any attacks on land.  The primary coastal guns were 10 in model 1891 guns and 6 in model 1892 Canet guns. Older 11 in model 1877 guns were also used.  In summer 1917 the fortress had two hundred coastal or anti-landing guns, of which 24 were 10-inch guns in six batteries, 16 were 6-inch Canet guns in four batteries and twelve were 11-inch guns in three batteries.  The artillery used in land fortifications included older coastal guns, old fixed carriage guns and newer light field guns.  In March 1917, Krepost Sveaborg had a total of 463 guns, although many of them were obsolescent.  Krepost Sveaborg was still partly incomplete in 1917 when the February Revolution halted most of the construction work.  Some further construction work was carried out during the remaining year, but all work halted during the October Revolution.  Following the Finnish Declaration of Independence, parts of the land fortifications were used in the Finnish Civil War.  The coastal fortifications were later taken over by Finland to protect Helsinki, while the land fortifications were mostly abandoned and disarmed.
