Today I worked out that the UK would nearly fit 1:1 scale on a sheet of A-39 paper.

That's using the A paper scale, where A0 is 1m^2 and each number down the scale doubles in area, keeping a 1:sqrt(2) aspect ratio.

That's A minus 39. I make a sheet of that 741.455km x 1048.576 km

(Done in #QGIS using 'Shape tools' plugin)

a DEM of Great Britain , surrounded by a red line which represents the outline of a sheet of A-39 paper. All of GB and most of Orkney is included, but not Shetland. Sorry, Shetland.
