Alaska is the largest state in the United States, and Iran is only 4% smaller than Alaska. The limitations of map-making contribute to too few of us realizing how large Alaska is. Maps of the United States frequently show Alaska as an afterthought, small and off to the side with a different scale from the mainland.
