Population
Britain = 60 million
Scotland = 5 million
Oregon = 3.5 million
USA = 308 million
Area
Britain = 137,745
Scotland = 30,414
Oregon = 98, 466 sq mi
USA = 3,676,487 sq mi.
So, Oregon is over 3 times the size of Scotland.
The USA is over 120 times the size of Scotland.
This might explain the stereotype that Americans don’t know much about other countries…
Some other stereotypes include being:
Loud
Informal
Friendly
Wasteful
Always in a hurry

Those size comparisons are really interesting!! I might write about that in my blog, too. It always surprises people that just Oregon is bigger than all of Scotland. :-)
