Nepal: landlocked country, 31 million people, 147 thousand sq KMS. United States: extends across a continent, 340 million people, 9.8 million sq kms

Just some reference points, draw your own conclusions

The contiguous US is only around 7 million in land area minus 1.5 for Alaska. 5.5m with more than 10 times the people. I'm drawing conclusions.

And more than 10 times the land area, right? About 67 times larger actually

Funny, I was thinking that would make a good comparison. Another interesting note, that area is separated from the rest of the continental US by the Appalachian mountains. Things to consider about why Americans aren't rioting hard enough.
