Everything's bigger in Texas, right? But how does that Texas-sized swagger translate when we stack it up against an entire continent? Let's put Texas into a European perspective.
Texas covers approximately 268,596 square miles. Now, imagine plopping Texas down on the European map. You could easily fit the entire state within the borders of France! Even Germany and the UK combined are only slightly larger than Texas. You could also fit most of Poland inside Texas, with room to spare!
While Europe is vastly more populated and culturally diverse, encompassing dozens of countries within a relatively small area, Texas holds its own in terms of sheer size. So next time you hear someone say everything's bigger in Texas, remember they might be onto something... continentally speaking!
