Comment on The true size of a country or state

Comments

Why does the US say "contiguous 50 states"? Shouldn't this be 48? (or 49 if you consider DC a state)

I'm guessing it should be 48. When the US is placed over the US, its appears to be about the same size (therefore, not including Alaska).

EDIT: and there's a 'non-contiguous' option for the US that includes Alaska and Hawaii.

My bad.

It's fixed now.
