Australia is about the same size as the USA in terms of land mass.

unless you ever glanced at a world map i guess

Actually a lot of the maps you are used to seeing do not accurately depict the land size a lot of countries. Mainly USA, Canada, and Russia. Google it.

I have a globe

edit: i started wondering if you thought I was disagreeing with the statement that Australia and USA are similarily sized. I wasn't. I'm saying its something that already sounds 100% true.

You're obviously not from the USA.

I'm an Aussie living in the USA and a plenty of Americans don't know this.
