Never said it is, I just pointed out that OP’s example is cheating, that some European countries are bigger than Michigan and gave an example of travelling huge distances inside a “subnational State” without cheating by doing detours. Without leaving the province, you really need to travel 35h to get from the two furthest points in Quebec by car, 35h is the quickest you’ll do it, it’s not taking 35h to travel between two points an hour or two apart.
