minus-squareJustin@lemmy.jlh.namelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up106arrow-down4·edit-28 months agoIt takes 23 hours and 2000 km to drive from the southernmost point in sweden to Abisko in the north. A full loop through Malmö-Kalmar-Stockholm-Luleå-Abisko-Östersund-Göteborg-Malmö takes over 2 days and over 4000 km. Europe is not small.
minus-squareLittleTarsier@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up9arrow-down3·8 months agoI think OPs point is that this is only in 1 state as opposed to an entire country.
minus-squareJustin@lemmy.jlh.namelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up10arrow-down7·edit-28 months agoEh, the distinction between internal state and sovereign state isn’t really that relevant here. If history had gone differently, the 13 American colonies would have been independent and sovereign states, just like the 27 member states in the EU.

minus-squareJustin@lemmy.jlh.namelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·8 months agoYeah, I don’t think there are any roads on the western border of Sweden, north of Oslo. It would take weeks the cover the actual border, I think.

minus-squareAggressivelyPassive@feddit.delinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3arrow-down1·8 months ago You can drive north-south all across Germany in under 10 hours That you?
minus-squaremsage@programming.devlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·8 months agoSure, but the Autobahn is much faster than any road in the US, or most of the world
minus-squareJustin@lemmy.jlh.namelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·8 months agoSure, but so is Michigan. You can drive across Arizona in 5 hours, across 600 km.
minus-squareAux@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·8 months agoGoogle says it will take over SIX days to drive from St. Petersburg to Magadan. Easternmost towns cannot be reached by a land vehicle at all.
minus-squareWoahWoah@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4arrow-down9·8 months agoLol. Responds to a post about a state by comparing it to a continent. A full loop around Jupiter is 70,000 km. Jupiter is not small.
