Didn't realize how big America (colloquial name here for the United States) is until I looked the size of my country there and realized it's only the obscure state of Kansas. Apart from the Wizard of Oz there and Dracula here, who ever mentions these states in a regular conversation?
Before today's "Kansas of Europe" we used to be part of what lead to the murder of an estimated 100 million people of this world. The Austro-Hungarian Empire that is.
And THIS is what prompted me to realize how funking big the US is. Austro-Hungary is Texas! Now you (US-ians, the majority of people here) fought a war to incorporate that into your current overstate unit but that didn't go nearly even saying "near" as near from total annihilation as a similar (-ly sized) effort went here.
So anywayza, these past days I realized US is freaking big (in surface, of course
!
