>whose physical presence spans a majority of a major continent,
I take your point, but this part isn't true. Canada is a little larger, and then there is also Mexico which is about 1/2 the size, so US is roughly 2/5ths of North America.
- bombcar 2y agouS is over 9m sq kms, Mexico is under 2. Canada is larger than the US but if the US extended its northern border 50 miles Canada wouldn’t have any population left.
- ska 2y agoOh you’re right about relative size of Mexico - my memory had a units error (km vs mi). Still, it’s not even as big as Canada so the statement wasn’t close to right…. It’s a bit under 9/20
