I use Wyoming as a yardstick when making comparisons with the USA.

Wyoming: Area 97,814 sq mi. Population: 584,153 (2014 estimate)

UK: Area 93,628 sq mi. Population: 64,511,000 (2014 estimate)

As near as dammit the same size as Wyoming, but the UK has 110 times the population.

That is why I have treasured memories of my visits to the US. There's room to move!
