      Australia enters the chat,

      Oi, mate, 13 hours to cross a state, that’s cute.

        Funny, we have similar distances in India it seems but with travel times on Google Maps mentioned in days instead of hours thanks to our excellent roads

          Everything’s bigger in Texas, except WA that shit is huge…!

          Initially I did Kununurra to Eucla which is approx 40hrs, but you can do it in 38 hrs if you go through the territory and SA. In the efforts of keeping things fair and saying in the same state such as the OP, Esperance seemed to prove the point. There’s defs longer commutes, but shy of triple seemed to be enough to prove a point.

          PS love the username

            Kununurra to Eucla is 40 hours, suprisingly it’s 3 hours quicker to go through northern territory and south Australia.

            Cheers, thought I’d let them know who they’re arguing with.

          You’ve lost me the USA is a country as well.?

          In Aus, we have a state called Western Australia (we’re really imaginative with naming,) and its friggin huge…! (Pictured)

          Approx 2.6 million km2 Or approx 1 million sq freedom units

            Ahh, okay. I didn’t look at the picture very closely; I had no idea Australia had states! Nifty

                Oh so cute! Is that why we hesitate to give them any autonomy?

            Nope, they meant that Texas is supposed to be a country.

        If you think that Australia is huge, you should play with navigation in Russia.

          I did call that out in one of my replies, WA is massive, but Russia has an even bigger state, no idea how easy it is to drive it…!

            Most remote destinations in Russia is not driveable at all.

        Yeah, you can fit Texas 4.5 times into Yakutia in Russia.
