    some European countries are much bigger than Michigan

    Yeah and Michigan is bigger than many European countries.

    Land area of Michigan: 150,504 km^2

    Land and water area: 250,493 km^2

    Area of Austria: 83,879 km^2

    Portugal: 92,230 km^2

    UK: 244,376 km^2

    Denmark: 43,094 km^2

    Belguim: 30,689 km^2

    Netherlands: 41,865 km^2

    I know this is a shit post, but I don’t think most non natives truely grasp the vastness of America. This is A state thats bigger than Denmark, Belguim, and the Netherlands combined without including Michigans water area.

      Just pointing out that it’s ridiculous to say Europeans couldn’t understand it.
