Fascinating, thanks for sharing!
Australia and China are absolutely massive, wow. They look deceptively small on most maps 🤯
This is what us Aussies have been trying to say! We're not that much smaller than the contiguous USA. Yet so often online people act like we're this tiny island. It's just our population that's tiny by comparison.
I'm from the US, and I've always pictured Australia as a place nearly the land area of the lower 48 states, with people along the coasts and one city right in the middle.
In the US, we assume the difference in population is due to attrition due to dropbear attacks. We're not entirely sure where we got that information, but it seemed pretty reliable.
That's a cool site, thank you for sharing it!
