Or if you're looking for metric, it's about half the size of two Texases put together

A metric Texas is 6.214 U.S. customary Texases, same ratio as the metric mile.

I'm Damned Yankee Land. Or more informatively, how 'bout a map of territory that most maps of the period ignore.  Mexico allowed a bunch of American immigration because they thought that they'd provide a buffer, but then most Americans just kinda settled in that empty area to the east and didn't divert any raiding.

If you've ever wondered why we have a permanent base there even after the Castro revolution and new government since? It's because we basically made a condition of independence. That we got a permie base. Not one of them softy bases in Korea or Germany or Japan that those countries can choose to push out if they had the political will, but like a straight up forever base.

UEFA and Eurovision are entertainment thingies and do not count politically; however Azerbaijan is a member of the Council of Europe and therefore politically European. Contrarily to Belarus.
