You've lost me the USA is a country as well.?

In Aus, we have a state called Western Australia (we're really imaginative with naming,) and its friggin huge...! (Pictured)

Approx 2.6 million km2 Or approx 1 million sq freedom units

Ahh, okay. I didn't look at the picture very closely; I had no idea Australia had states! Nifty

[–] ForgottenUsername@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Yeah..! Just not 50 of them,

6 states and 2 internal territories (baby states)
