How Big is North Korea Compared to Texas? Hold My Lone Star Beer and Let Me Show You
Ah, Texas. The land of Stetsons, sizzling steaks, and everything bigger. Everything, that is, except maybe North Korea. Or is it? Buckle up, partners, because we're about to wrangle this geographical showdown like a herd of long horns.
So, You're Saying North Korea is Tiny?
Well, hold your horses (or maybe your mechanical bulls). North Korea isn't exactly the size of a postage stamp, but it ain't exactly Texas either. We're talking about a country roughly the size of Virginia (bless their hearts). That's around 120,540 square kilometers (or 46,734 square miles for those clinging to freedom units).
Texas, on the other hand, is a whopper: clocking in at a whopping 696,241 square kilometers (that's 268,596 square miles, folks). You could practically fit seven North Koreas inside Texas, with enough room leftover for a good ol' fashioned rodeo.
Basically, if Texas were a ten-gallon hat, North Korea would be a cute little beret.
But Wait, There's More! (Because Texas Loves Things Big)
Hold on a sec, before all you North Korean tourists start booking your yeehaw adventures, here's a kicker: mountains. Lots of mountains. North Korea is a pretty mountainous place, which means a significant chunk of that land ain't exactly prime real estate for, say, sprawling cattle ranches or monster truck rallies.
Texas, on the other hand, is all about the wide-open spaces. You can see your neighbor's ranch from your porch swing, and that neighbor's probably your cousin.
So, Who Wins the Size Showdown?
Texas, by a landslide (or should we say, mudslide?). But hey, size ain't everything, right? North Korea might be smaller, but they pack a punch (allegedly).
Here's the real takeaway: both these places have their own unique charm. Texas might have the space, but North Korea has, well, a very specific kind of theme park vibe going on.
Maybe one day, we can all hold hands (and possibly flamethrowers), sing K-pop around a giant barbecue pit, and celebrate the beauty of international relations (emphasis on the "relations").
