My favorite fact about how big Alaska is, is that you can fit at least a dozen Alaskas inside of Alaska.
Yeah, but what about Kazakhstan?
If you were to divide Alaska into two equally large states, Texas would become the third largest state. And that's a true fact.

I bet the moon fits in there too
... the map includes Alaska inside it as well.
That's stunning.
i mean they were right about Portugal, Switzerland and sorta the UK
This looks wrong. The UK is not that big, and the US is not bigger than Russia. And other countries look off too
Edit: I got bamboozled
No it's definitely right. Especially useful to contextualize second Alaska. I'm not sure how big you thought second Alaska was, but maybe this will help give you some perspective.
No no it really is that big- I've seen it myself.

Earth is definitely to scale here
