According to a neat overlay map posted to reddit by user martinswfan you can fit 30 european countries into the continental us. Its easy to forget how large the united states is for one country especially when you compare it to a continent like europe thats made up of so many smaller countries.
Yes a comparison of population would be nice but even more interesting to me would be economic capacity.
How big is europe compared to the us.
The us as a whole is the biggest economy in the world but when i see powerful economies like japan isreal and south korea are the same size of a state that doesnt have a fraction of the same economic impact it shows how productive and importat those countries are.
The united states is 3 times as big as eu 15 used to be and eu 15 included pretty much all of the countries in western europe that people from the us like to compare to their own country italy germany spain france uk sweden heres the map.
In terms of landmass the united states and europe are similar in sizethe united states is 9833000 square kilometers while europe is 10180000 square kilometershowever european countries are closer in size to eastern states in america which are smaller and closer together than western states.
Europe is by convention one of the worlds seven continents.
Was 707 per 100000 people compared to only 60 per 100000 in sweden 72.
In terms of size the two are almost even with europe only slightly bigger than the us 102 million sq km vs 98 million sq km but this includes large parts of russia.
The eu which many people think of as europe has a population of 510 million people in an area half the size of the us 43 million sq km.
Below are 10 examples of european exceptionalism and areas in which europe is way ahead of the united states.
The contiguous united states is the 48 adjoining us states plus washington dc on the continent of north america that are south of canada and north of mexico.
