How big is the USA?

The first draft of this visualisation was created in about 8 hours before the deadline for USA by Designers expired, on the day before I had to move out of my house and before I’d started any packing! So, to say I was rushed, stressed, and clock watching is a HUGE understatement.
What’s shown below is the […]
