The continental US and Australia are roughly the same size.
Australia lacks enough water to sustain a population over 100 million and even then they would have to build out the proper infrastructure and become much more efficient with resources.. that being said the US should probably do the same.

Alaska—- where are you at?
You feeling left out?

Flip the map of Australia over for its real position relative to north america.

You’re missing half the country, Alaska.

Life in Perth has gotta be pretty unique. The city is basically completely isolated from the rest of the country. Just it’s own little world. Nothing remotely close like that in the US. You could argue Anchorage, but it’s a much smaller city.

If you flip it upside down it fits better.

Perth so lonely

Sure but do they have the world’s largest network of navigable rivers?

It’s kinda funny how Australia, Brazil, Canada, China and the United States are all similarly sized. And then there’s Russia. We don’t talk about Russia…

Somebody must really hate Adelaide. Darwin, Cairns, Regina, Fort Worth, but no Adelaide.

But they have a smaller GDP than Texas.

Australia is like the USA but with the population of California.

Then why are their spiders so big?

So Australia is basically America in the 1800’s basically empty in the middle

You’re missing Alaska. Alaska alone is almost half the size of Australia

But how many Australias can you fit in Texas tho?

And only a sliver of the population. Something like 25-30 mil. Vs our 350 mil. But that immigration control is just as bad.
I’m a desert denizen and the outback from pics looks just like the Mojave to me. Never was a coastal guy.

Almost the same size as the US but only if you don’t count Alaska.

China is almost the same size as the US (yes, including alaska).

Pretty much the same population distribution too.

This map would be cooler if Australia was flipped and put at the corresponding latitude. Sydney would be somewhere near Atlanta and Cairns would be in Central America.
I don’t think people realize how much closer Australia is to the equator than the US

Texas, PNW and Alaska are huge

Huh. Both the US and Australia seems way snaller than I have imagined.

*Contiguous United States
And Canada is bigger then both
Unfortunately, the livable area is quite limited

From Cancun to James Bay
Let’s not forget [Alaska is almost as wide as Australia](https://cdn.shortpixel.ai/spai/q_glossy+w_852+to_webp+ret_img/www.akbizmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/how-big-is-alaska-img15.jpg) and 1/4 the size alone
