In the US, there's a good chance you haven't even left your state either

You can drive for 30 hours and still be on the same highway in the same state in Australia.
Damn, I thought the 22 hours to cross Ontario was long.
The thing is, Australia is basically the same size as America (minus Alaska), but only has 6 states and one state-sized territory. 7 compared to 48 means the time taken to travel across one state is much greater.
Canada is obviously a lot bigger than Australia, but it also has a lot more provinces/territories. 13, which is almost double. And while it's a lot bigger, it's nowhere near double the area. 30% extra land for 85% extra provinces, to be precise.
