I had a co-worker that would say "Only a Canadian would brag about how big Canada is because the majority of it is empty land". What percentage of Canadians live within a short distance to the Canada/US border? 95%? More? This guy also tried to brag about how many Canadians live further south than a portion of the US citizens with Toronto being further south than Portland/Seattle/Minneapolis/etc.
The thing that always impressed me growing up was how big Alaska is after the first time I saw it overlaid onto the rest of the US. A quick web search found a fun site: https://www.mylifeelsewhere.com/country-size-comparison/germ...
