It's not the size that counts but the ability to clear your orbit. ;)

No clue what it'll be but it'll certainly be rad.
That sounds like an act of war...

Good question! I had forgotten about Jupiter's Trojans and Greek asteroids!
I went and checked the definiton of Clearing the Neighborhood by IAU, emphasis mine:
Trojans and Greeks orbit Jupiter's LaGrange points in a stable orbit and so they are governed by Jupiter's gravity. You could say they're really weird moons orbiting semi-stable points Jupiter creates.
