Just how big is the United States?

[SamAdams76]

Well take just Texas for example. Superimpose Texas over Europe and even Adolph Hitler would have an inferiority complex...

Now Texas is pretty big. But let's take Alaska all by itself and superimpose it on the lower 48. Line up the North Slope of Alaska with Minnesota and you end up with Juneau down in the Carolinas and the Aleutians run clear to the coast of Southern California!

Well I just thought this was pretty darn impressive.

stop it! you’ll give the folks from rhode island an inferiority complex

[I see my hands]

Alaska. The northernmost, westernmost, and easternmost state.

If Mississippi wore a New Jersey then what would Delaware?

Highlight below for answer:

Idaho, Alaska.

Hey, Rhode Island is where people from Massachusetts park their boats. Just ask John Kerry!

I would be living in a suburb of Leipzig?

Michigan is a big state if you plan on driving from southeast (Detroit) to northwest (Ironwood). Its right around 600 miles.

California is just slightly smaller in land area than Sweden, but has about four times the population.

If you want BIG plot Russia.

I've always liked this one:

Last I heard: 57 States big.

Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut would fit into San Bernardino County, Calif.

On the other hand:

Population of Alaska - 722,718 . . . . Texas - 25,674,681

[Fiji Hill]

Sarah Palin approves.

Since it straddles the International Date Line, Alaska is both the westernmost and the easternmost state.

[dragnet2]

Population of Alaska - 722,718 . . . . Texas - 25,674,681

And those 26 million live in most of the big city regions..The bigger the population the more problems, less freedom, more government control etc.

Lot’s of “Lebensraum” here in the old US of A

[SkyDancer]

So, okay, this is Australia, but Australia is just about the same size as the US.

France is about the size of Texas, Germany about the size of Montana. England can fit into Washington, Oregon and a bit of Idaho.

Palin and Straddles in the same post priceless

Yes, we have plenty of “Lebensraum” here in the USA, and just in case we ever need more, we’ve always got Canada!
