    Yes, those are countries, not single states within a country. Different things.

    edit: ya’ll are acting so fucking weird in this comment thread. Jesus Christ I don’t even give a shit about the size of America or the US/EU pissing contest, I was merely and correctly pointing out the non-equivalence of the items being compared. Holy shit get a fucking life if you give two shits about the topic itself, goddamn. The hate boner some of you have for one country or another to the point of spite downvoting and intentionally misinterpreting shit is fucking ridiculous.

        Yes, how is this relevant? The point is they were comparing the length of time to cross a single American state to the time to cross an entire country, which are two different things. Driving through Texas isn’t equivalent to driving through Germany, it’s equivalent to driving through Bavaria.

            Ah, in that case, no, you’re still wrong and we are not anything like the EU, not really. The of autonomy and sovereignty each member of the EU has is vastly different, and mostly vastly greater, than that of each of the individual states of America. Again, the correct equivalence isn’t America = EU, it’s America = Germany and Texas = Bavaria. Hope that helps.
