Pennsylvania vs. England: A Tale of Two Tea-Loving Lands (Except One Isn't That Fond of Tea Anymore)
Let's face it, Americans and Brits have a lot in common. We love talking loudly about our countries (sometimes to the point of sounding boastful), we both have a penchant for fried breakfasts (though maybe with a few regional variations), and there's a whole historical kerfuffle about who gets to claim credit for the invention of certain things (like the flush toilet, a debate that, frankly, is best left to the historians).
But one question lingers, especially for those who've maybe indulged in a few too many scones and crumpets across the pond: how big is Pennsylvania compared to England?

The Great Size Showdown: Round One - Pennsylvania
Pennsylvania, fondly nicknamed "Penn's Woods" (because, well, it used to have a lot of trees), clocks in at a respectable 46,054 square miles. That's enough space to fit Hershey Park in there about, oh, 874 times (don't worry, your dentist will be thrilled).
The Great Size Showdown: Round Two - England
Now, England, the land of Big Ben, fish and chips, and questionable weather forecasts, comes in at a total area of 50,347 square miles. So, England wins by a hair's breadth, or perhaps the length of a double-decker bus.
Tip: Highlight what feels important.
The Verdict: It's a Close Call, But England Takes the Biscuit (Literally, They Have More Biscuits)
So there you have it. England is technically bigger than Pennsylvania. But hey, Pennsylvania has some pretty cool things going for it too, like, you know, the Liberty Bell (although, let's be honest, it's a cracked bell. Still cool, though).
