If you compared all of Germany today to the state of Wisconsin, or one of these midwestern states, how would they compare sizewise...........Germany is about the size of the state of ? Mary

My atlas is from 1967, but I do not believe the size has changed: BRD - 95,914 sq. mi. (West Germany) DDR - 41,535 sq. mi. (East Germany) tot - 137, 449 CH - 15, 944 (Switzerland) Austria - 32, 369 Luxembourg - 999 Lichtenstein - 63 some states Illinois - 50, 400 Idaho - 83, 557 Connecticutt - 5, 009 Colorado - 104, 247 Alaska - 586, 400 USA 48 states - 3, 028, 811 Montana - 147, 138 Wisconsin - 56, 154 South Carolina - 31, 055 Pennsylvania - 45,333 (smaller than Wisconsin - surprising) Michigan - 58, 216 (how much of that is Lakes?) Rhode Island - 1, 214 Quebec, Canada - 594, 860 Hawaii - 6, 424 Thomas Koch, satisfying my curiousity ----- Original Message ----- From: mary green <greendmj@internetni.com> To: Thomas Koch <ferdinad@omnitelcom.com> Cc: <GERMAN-LIFE-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, June 17, 2001 3:25 PM Subject: Re: [GERMAN-LIFE] German walking habits > > If you compared all of Germany today to the state of Wisconsin, or one of these midwestern > states, how would they compare sizewise...........Germany is about the size of the state of ? > Mary > >

Please allow me to correct a remark I made in an earlier missive about the size of the USA. I said 50,000,000 square miles. I should have said 5,000,000 square miles. Although the smaller figure is also wrong (the subject letter says 3, 028,811), my purpose was to make a comparison between the opportunities to spread out that compressed the old world and expanded the new world adventure. I hope you will forgive my error.
