MODERATORS
California has the same population as Australia.
And over twice the GDP.
I thought california had much more
Doesn't it have a much bigger population than Aus? Wikipedia says that California has about 39 million people and Australia only 27 million.
That's even more insane
They may have mixed up the British commonwealth. Canada has a similar population to California
Australia feels like a small country stretched around the perimeter of a genuinely impressive quantity of absolutely nothing.
As an American, I'll take the Mojave over the Outback any day.
Like a donut with a very spicy hole
