Thought many of you might like to see this - it's amazing when you look at the size of both countries. Unless you see them like this not many would be able to realize the difference in land mass.

As you say Patricia - amazing.
Seem to recall something similar showing that continental Europe would fit in Australia too.

Although Africa has a long way to go to catch up with the population, i,e:
How do Africa and the US compare in population: The population of South Africa is ~56.5 million people (276.2 million more people live in United States).

Patricia I think you're perhaps confusing the size of the population of the Republic of South Africa (a country) with the population of the whole continent of Africa.
"Africa is the world's second-largest and second-most populous continent, after Asia in both cases. At about 30.3 million km 2 (11.7 million square miles) including adjacent islands, it covers 6% of Earth 's total surface area and 20% of its land area. With 1.3 billion people as of 2018, it accounts for about 16% of the world's human population."

Notice not many comments on the Dimensions of Great Britain or is this a "Diversion Tactic!" 
South Africa is approximately 1,219,090 sq km, while United States is approximately 9,833,517 sq km, making United States 707% larger than South Africa. Meanwhile, the population of South Africa is ~56.5 million people (276.2 million more people live in United States).
I will be sure to stipulate "Republic of South Africa "next time.(Will have to remind those in charge to also stipulate Republic of South Africa)
Same with Australia i,e, population is a great deal less - although my cousin who lives in Preston has stated on more than one occasion that if he had been twenty years younger ,he would definitely be heading for New Zealand!!!
United States is about 1.3 times bigger than Australia.
Australia is approximately 7,741,220 sq km, while United States is approximately 9,833,517 sq km, making United States 27% larger than Australia. Meanwhile, the population of Australia is ~25.5 million people (307.2 million more people live in United States!!

I think you may be missing the point, Patricia, I put the USA within the continent of Africa. You then made the comparison between the population of the USA and South Africa.
Bee was pointing out, you cannot do that, as South Africa is only a small proportion of the continent of Africa. Even if you included all of North America as a continent, its size and population has no comparison to Africa.
As to making comparisons between the sizes of the UK and the USA, I've always preferred quality over quantity.

Except perhaps, when it comes to war!! Lets not get over jndulgent, shall we?
Another factor I found quite interesting ..........
"700,000 Brits"
A staggering 700,000 Brits currently call the U.S. home.
I belong to two Brit Groups, i.e. Brits who have moved to the U.S.
Brits who live in N.E. America
Both very informative and more important, friendly, which I find is a very valuable entity.
