    The US is a fake country. States have a massive amount of power, they control vehicle registration, sales tax, school programs… the federal government might as well not exist. The same applies to other so-called countries like Germany.

          What’s the population density like chief? Based on online stats Germany is 6x more dense than the US as a whole (mostly due to those big states you’re comparing it to being < 100/mi².)

            Hey there Captain!

            1. If you combined Texas and California, you would have around the same population.

            2. There are around six times more licensed drivers in the US than in Germany.

            Oh, I know. Different places have different factors. The point of me putting the image up was just another example of comparing Germany to the US that doesnt have any contextual similarity.
