    The individual states are better compared to medium/small European countries than to districts of most countries in terms of size, population, economy and political independence.

    Not being able to place Boise is is more like not being able to place Skopje than Nantes. (And yes, I had to look two of those up)

      California maybe, Nebraska not. Catalunya is more significant than over half of the states. As is northrhine-westfalia.
