Oklahoma: The Land Run You Didn't Know You Needed (Because It Already Happened...Twice)
Ever looked at a map and thought, "Huh, Oklahoma's kinda big"? You're not wrong, my friend. This state, nicknamed "The Sooner State" (presumably because everyone wanted a piece of that land pie), is a whopping 69,898 square miles. That's a lot of space for rodeos, oil wells, and, apparently, countries that never got the memo about Manifest Destiny.

Buckle up, geography nerds, because this is about to get wild. Here's a little game: take a guess at how many countries are smaller than Oklahoma.

...Still guessing? Don't worry, it's a doozy. Here's the big reveal: a surprising number! We're talking dozens of countries could be tucked neatly inside Oklahoma's borders.

Tiny Titans: A Few Examples
Still not convinced? Let's name some names (and squeeze them into Oklahoma for good measure):
QuickTip: Treat each section as a mini-guide.
- Israel: This Middle Eastern powerhouse is a mere 22,145 square miles. Basically, it would fit in Oklahoma with room to spare for a falafel stand or two.
- Costa Rica: The land of rainforests, coffee, and eco-tourism comes in at a compact 19,730 square miles. Imagine all that biodiversity thriving just a short drive from Oklahoma City!
- Slovenia: This European gem is a teeny 20,273 square miles. Think of all the amazing hiking and skiing you could do without ever leaving Oklahoma (well, almost).
This is just a taste, folks! There are many more countries that could call Oklahoma home (if they, you know, wanted to downsize).
But Wait, There's More!
Here's the kicker: Oklahoma isn't even the biggest state! Texas, Alaska, and Montana could all house a whole lotta countries within their borders. Maybe we should hold another land run...just kidding (mostly).
