Well it's nice to brag I have the big one ;-) Now tell
Arny that the population of WA is around 2,200,000.
That's 2 people per square mile
Alaska: population 670,053, size 570,380 square miles.
That's just a shade over 1 person per square mile.

Australians have a fantastic lifestyle and we live in a very
