California has the same population as Australia.
And over twice the GDP.
I thought california had much more
Doesn't it have a much bigger population than Aus? Wikipedia says that California has about 39 million people and Australia only 27 million.
They may have mixed up the British commonwealth. Canada has a similar population to California
That's even more insane
Australia feels like a small country stretched around the perimeter of a genuinely impressive quantity of absolutely nothing.
As an American, I'll take the Mojave over the Outback any day.
