Australia and Canada are different because the are sparsely populated, nearly everyone in Australia lives by or on the coast and most people in Canada don't live to far north

Because every one lives in one area or another they will most likely not have to drive through the whole thing, say you live in southern-mid Canada, are you going to drive farther up north? No because the only thing up there is the arctic circle, same thing with Australia, there isn't really anything unless you are on the coast, Texas however maintains a population throughout the entire landmass so more people will have to drive through it

70% of Canada's population lives within 50 miles of the US border. Just thought you all should know.

This is just a size comparison, not a population comparison lol. If it was comparing population we would have Japan or China with New York up there :-)

If you drive for 45 minutes in NZ your car should be filling up with water

It's sort of funny for me to read this. I'm from Northern Italy and visited relatives of mine in Austria today. It took me only like 3 hours to get there. I could even come home the same day! :D

Well you have to remember that Texas is a single state in the US. America is overall a lot bigger than Australia. There is a butt load of McDonald's here though.

I live in S. Ontario and I drive 16 hours to my uncles fishing cabin straight north and that's still only 2/3 of the way to the northern tip of Ontario

I've lived in Texas all my life, and I have been to only a few cities because driving that far is too hard only for more Texas...

When I lived in Geneva I could literally walk to France because everything is so close

The texas over europe pic is a bit misleading. Total land mass of TX would be about 20% of western Europe. And while TX alone is much smaller than Australia, the US is quite a bit bigger, US is about the same size as CAN.

That's because of Alaska- Alaska is huge, you stick it over the continental US and it's covering a really built part of it.

That guest is a moron. 1018000 square kilometers is the total land mass of Europe. 695600 sq kilometers is the land mass of Texas. 68% not twenty percent. The little state of Tennessee is larger than a majority of EU nations. We are taught that the US constitution was designed to make every State function as an independent nation with one central government to help maintain fairness in trade and national defense.

This is why healthcare systems and laws that work in countries like Germany or Italy don't work in America. A state is bigger than your countries!

It takes four hours to drive from Ottawa to Toronto and if you look of a map of Canada that is a relatively short drive (compared to the size of the country) to get anywhere in Canada.

You fucking libtards are trying to compare a state from one country to entire land masses of another. I bet you attended public school didn't you?

Yes guest, as a comparison to say ‘look this STATE is smaller than this COUNTRY’ think very carefully guest, I’d hate for you to break your last braincell.
