This looks wrong. The UK is not that big, and the US is not bigger than Russia. And other countries look off too

Edit: I got bamboozled

No it's definitely right. Especially useful to contextualize second Alaska. I'm not sure how big you thought second Alaska was, but maybe this will help give you some perspective.

No no it really is that big- I've seen it myself.

Would you like to use a wicked wango card?

My favorite fact about how big Alaska is, is that you can fit at least a dozen Alaskas inside of Alaska.

i mean they were right about Portugal, Switzerland and sorta the UK

If you were to divide Alaska into two equally large states, Texas would become the third largest state. And that's a true fact.

Where's the Hawaii?!

Yeah, but what about Kazakhstan?
