I'm surprised it's not bigger to be honest.

That'll be that pesky Mercator projection messing with my perceptions again.

We sometimes muck around with imaginary journeys. This is 5.5x Brighton to John O Groats, time wise.

Always interrupted the cricket commentary on Radio 4 in the small hours. My only gripe.

The Senate is only one of two chambers. The American constitution very cleverly balances the representation of each of the states, large or small, as having an equal voice in Congress - with two senators each, but then also the House of Representatives’ congressional districts are allocated broadly on a per capita basis. So one chamber represents all the states equally - by design, so the larger states don’t predominate - whereas the other takes the broader representation of a district’s population size into account.

Which I reckon is actually a pretty smart piece of designed statehood which has no real bearing on whether thick morons vote for neo-Nazi game show hosts. That in itself is far from the constitution’s fault.
