Well that Germany you mentioned happens to be 16 states stapled together

And US states are further broken down by many counties staples together

And in my state we even break counties down another level

Alright. So one American state is the size of 16 German ones.

Texas has a bigger population than Australia. In fact, it would be 51st largest population and 40th largest area in the world if it split off from the USA.
