lol

Sincerely, Australia; where two states are bigger than Alaska, and all but 2 states and 1 of 2 real internal territories are bigger than itty-bitty Texas.

Those 2 small states are where most of the people live though.

And within those states, most live in the main city. Even more if you count the commuter cities.

Also points for both snow and heat in different parts.

TIL the claimed Australian Antarctic Territory is six times the size of Texas.

I mean yeah, the Australian Antarctic Territory (that we basically inherited from the UK, IIRC) is fucking massive. But it's also what we call an "external territory", so I wasn't counting it.

The internal territories are the Northern Territory (practically a state for our purposes here) and the Australian Capital Territory (similar to America's District of Columbia, but with real legislative representation!). Oh, and the Jervis Bay Territory, but for most practical intents and purposes that's another arm of the ACT.
