How do you even travel in huge countries? In Croatia traveling more than 3 hours is distant.
My hometown is 3,5 hours from Zagreb by bus and I see it as distant.
Meanwhile Ljubljana in Slovenia is 2 hours and Graz in Austria is about 2,5h. Bosnia is 1 hour from Zagreb. Hungary is at 2 hours from Zagreb.
Italy is 3 hours from Zagreb (if you pick Udine or Trieste). Milano is maybe 5-6 hours from Zagreb.

How is it in USA, what is considered distant and what is close? Or any other huge country?

I don't think this is what people think it is. It's growing or shrinking nations based on how they'd they'd be distorted on a Mercator projection map. Just because you bring Australia up to Europe or greenland doesn't mean that's its "true" size. It means that's how Australia would look in the the top center of the map.
>>
>>77834051
regardless, isn't it a fair size comparison then?

Not really. Most political maps today use the Robinson projection unless it's Web Mercator or naval related. It's been common knowledge for some time that square maps are distorted. I don't think anyone is really shocked by it anymore. If you really have such a hard on you can just look at a Gall–Peters projection to see "big" Australia, Africa and Brazil. It's a neat app but people are walking away thinking that this is showing the "true" size of countries which isn't the case. "thetruesize.com?" More like differentdistortedsizes.com.
>>
>>77834435
No, because if you put any country in a pole, it stretches to be the entire width of the map.
So, in the northern hemisphere, an up-facing triangle will have the same area as a down-facing triangle, but will be a lot larger, because being larger towards the equator means more than being larger towards the poles.

Meaning that it's only fair to compare stuff if they are aligned in the equator, and even then if the country is too tall, it starts to distort too.
>>
>>77813525
Woah
Why can't Brazil stretch from sea to shining sea?
