Hawaii’s landmass is spread out across islands. If you smash them all together the size looks like it’d be comparable to Illinois. Colorado, on the other hand, looks a bit large.
How is this alphabetical? I keep looking for some logic to it but I can’t find it
States starting with A are huge, states starting with W are tiny. (If there were states starting with Z they’d be even smaller)
That’s what I originally thought, but if you compare Maine and Alaska, the sizes aren’t much different to my eye
But which map projection is he using?
Maybe he took all the current areas of the states. Then reassigned them alphabetically. Rather than creating new areas.
I don’t know, it’s a dumb concept anyway ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Then why is Hawaii fucking massive?

Yeah, Hawaii is huge and Idaho is way smaller than it actually is, despite it being right behind Hawaii, alphabetically.
States get smaller in alphabetical order. Alabama is huge, while West Virginia is tiny.
What’s going on with Hawaii, then?
Total land area, maybe?
