Would Mongolia be considered big? Probably not but I've always thought it would be neat to have a kind of nomadic themed Survivor where the contestants are given so many sheep/goats/other livestock and taught basic Survival skills by natives in order to live off the land (for example how to construct a simple yurt [tent], build a fire pit, basic milking and butchery etc.) before being divided into tribes and forced to fend for themselves in the wilds. Reward challenges could play into this theme by offering additional training with natives (for example learning about different plants/grasses and their healing properties, effective management of livestock etc.), visits to nomadic camps and festivals, and the chance to win animal helpers such as horses and camels. There could even be raids thrown in from time to time. Immunity challenges could involve archery, axe throwing and other weapon based contests, horseback riding and wrestling. Maybe there could even be a twist come merge where the new tribe has to pack up all their belongings and move themeselves and their livestock to a completely new environment (for example moving from rolling grasslands to hilly terrain) which is a half a day to a days journey away. The weather would be a problem of course and there may be protests if animal butchery plays a large part in the series but it would be interesting and unlike what has been seen before on the show. This theme could also be done in West China, Kazakhstan and a number of other Central Asian countries.

Russia could be considered big (the lake bikal or kamchatka areas have nice scenery from the pictures I've seen). Peru, Nepal and Greenland (with a Norse theme) could possibly fit. The weather would probably be off-putting for all these places though. Greece and Japan would be interesting but obviously unlikely. I guess another season in Africa doesn't sound too bad, plenty of diversity there.
