Re: Holy hell....

US is around 2.8m sq miles if alaska is excluded, France is 212K. Not exactly 30 times, more like 12x, with 5x the population. If you look at rural vs city distribution the two are similar.

I'm sorry I didn't take the time to look up the exact amount

Re: Holy hell....

is it really that hard to type the question into Wikipedia before you get your facts wrong? (and you were almost 300% out)

Yes, it is. I'm too lazy to do research for that

Thank you. I thought 30x was a bit much. France is twice the size of Colorado. There are many, many rural areas. Just like the U.S. It's all about competition.

Bear in mind that a large part of the usa in virtually unhabited, like most of nevada, arizona, montana, etc. It it more meaningful to compare populations within accessible range of anything but dial-up. France also has significant areas with few people, such as the alps, by the way.
