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.
