How did they end up with the best geography in the world? Even Rvssia is dogshit in comparison.

We took what was rightfully ours. That natives were selfishly keeping all of this land for their casinos.

Yep, they are super lucky with that land. They have basically every landscape and type of climate you could imagine.

Russia is especially dogshit in comparison. All we have is very fertile fields, which are unusable for more than half a year. Aside that it's all endless swamps, tundras, deserts and permafrost.

European Russia's about comparable to the Upper Midwest climate-wise.

>>214864374 (OP)
Europe has nicer geography, almost the entire continent is arable land and the climate is mild without great extremes of heat and cold.

>>214867358
European Russia is big. It goes from subtropics to Arctic deserts.
Maybe you meant "area around Moscow" or something like that.

>>214864374 (OP)
It's all farms

>>214867358
it's about like Wisconsin or South Dakota.

>>214867609
amazing how cold Minnesota and North Dakota are, the northern part of them is as cold as the Arctic part of Russia even though they're only at the latitude of northern Italy

>>214864649
you don't want to be in the Deep South in the middle of summer, you really really don't

California by far has the best and most year-round habitable climate in North America.

>>214864649
>>214867871
The latitude of the South (abt. 36N to 25N) is mostly a desert around the globe except for the Southern US because of the air flow from the Gulf of Mexico. It is known as the horse latitudes.

>>214867751
These climates still cannot be comparable. Arctic has colder summers.
>>214867609
This map is kinda retarded.

>>214867751
Here's another comparison of some Arctic city to yours in North Dakota.

>>214867751
>>214867609
It's a little more complex than it seems because USDA growing zone maps mostly deal with winter and not summer temperatures and latitude mostly affects summer temperatures and not so much winter ones. Thus it's possible for Minnesota to have near-Arctic winters, but the summers feel hotter than they do in northern Europe.

>>214868208
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bismarck%2C_North_Dakota

for contrast the growing season in ND is about six months despite the very cold winters and it definitely gets hot in summertime

And comparison with the nothern par of South Dakota.
Moscow is just more mild for example. Also less sunny.

>>214867452
How is an individual farm defined?

>>214868334
And this is how southern part of Russia looks like.

>>214867871
I spent several months in South Carolina at summer period, and also have been in many other southern states from Georgia, to Texas. Yes, it's awfully hot and humid. But I like southern aesthetics (and not only Southern, USA aesthetics overall).

>>214864374 (OP)
great lakes and mississippi watershed are OP but a lot of places in america are still shit and some places face natural disasters every year, I'd rather be in a place with no disaster potential at all.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berlin#Geography

Here's Berlin which has a growing season of seven months and relatively mild winters, however it is at 52N and also has rather mild summer weather for it

>>214868343
I'm not sure but the average is 466 acres per farm

>>214868343
Probably a single piece of property that is allocated for farming purposes or some such.
Number would be a lot smaller if it included "farmers" instead, since most of our farms are corporate scum.

>>214868436
there's the key different in how Europe is warmed by the Gulf Stream. Canada has Arctic winters while Europe has mild winters despite being at the same latitude. summer temperatures in both are relatively similar though.

>>214868208
>>214868295
It's just continental climate like in Siberia and Kazakhstan. It doesn't go close to the real arctic.

>>214868509
Here for example a city on almost the same latitude in Kazakhstan.

>>214868295
It does affect what you can plant though because perennial plants, trees, and shrubs have to be able to tolerate the winter weather there.

>>214868295
You would in any case get more sunlight year round due to the latitude.

>>214868554
In "Freedom" units for our frens.

As for myself I live in the Northeast. Here is about at the latitude of Spain and Italy. we obviously get real winters while they do not and you can't grow olive trees here or anything because they can't handle freezing temperatures, but summer weather is probably similar.

North Dakota has even more continental climate than North Kazakhstan, where I live. Here we have from from -47C to +42C, and they have it from -49C to +51C. Impressive.

Arctic is arctic because of the cold summers, not because of the cold winters. In many places in the arctic, winters can be mild.

>>214868208
I think in Europe it's necessary to put stuff like tomatoes in greenhouses because the summer weather is too mild and they demand heat.

>>214868765
that is true, it is why the Scandinavian Arctic is mild and quite livable while the Canadian Arctic is a desolated wasteland

>>214868730
+49C to -51C in North Dakota, I confused the signs

>>214868730
The difference is probably due to the air flow from the Southern US in summertime which brings higher humidity to the Northern Plains. Kazakhstan has only dry desert and steppe to the south of it.

>>214868786
Tomatoes are a Mediterranean plant, they like heat but also dry conditions. This year has been good tomato weather as the Northeast has been dry.

>>214864374 (OP)
Manifest destiny o algo.

>>214868918
>Tomatoes are a Mediterranean plant
*Mediterranean climate plant, I meant

>>214868877
Considering that ND's largest city is Fargo with ~180 thousands people that state seems to be exclusively curious place.

>>214864374 (OP)
Wrong. Russia has and the USSR even more had better land. Pic related. It's just that they're not utilizing its potential.
It's like that Russian in the meme pic says: "You know what bugs me the most? Our country is the richest in resources but we live just like niggers."

>>214869074
Hello retard, who shits on Russia in every thread.

>>214869149
Haven't posted on /int/ in months. If there are lots of us, then maybe there's something to it?

>>214869074
Considering resources probably, but USA nature mogs Russia's nature that's for sure. They have everything that Russia has plus much more that Russia hasn't.

Oh and plant growth completely stops at 9 hours of daylight. Even in a mild location like SoCal with frost free conditions year-round, stuff doesn't grow in the middle of winter due to the shorter daylight hours. Even at 10 hours of daylight plant growth is minimal.

>>214864374 (OP)
the same territorry could support like one billion people if the history of it all happened a different way. Maybe if the French/Spanish Louisiana stayed in its funny shape, the plains would be the core of the country and not some boring flyover states

We definitely get a lot more sunshine than Europe at almost any time of year.

>>214870606
not if it's a cloudless summer day here

>>214870606
some of that is latitude (higher sun angle tends to burn off cloud cover more readily) but also because Europe has a more oceanic influenced climate

>>214864649
Luck had nothing to do with it.

>>214869600
>more people is... le good

>>214871434
never said that. I just think it's cool to imagine

>>214867983
Except North India and China, the biggest population centers in the world.

>>214868412
>I'd rather be in a place with no disaster potential at all.
Is that even possible? Even if you don't have to worry about stuff like earthquakes, hurricanes or tornadoes, in those locations it's usually things like dangerous cold snaps, blizzards, ice storms, or wild fires.

>>214871540
True. Maybe if it was developed much earlier before industrialization

>>214864374 (OP)
Erm good placement also russia lost like all the good lands
Russia has like Canada tier climate or worse

>>214867609
So, US is like Europe, and Russia is more comparable to Canada.

>>214867402
Europe cold tho
t. southerner

>>214868765
you can see that atlantic current effect on arctic murmansk, while the landmass way down south gets much colder in winter

>>214872208
The actual North Pole doesn't get as cold as interior Siberia.

The Eastern US gets sunnier weather as the most common wind direction is out of the west and brings dry Plains air east. In Europe for contrast moist air is pulled in off the ocean. If however the Rocky Mountains didn't exist then there would be a direct west to east flow of Pacific air and result in a mild continent-wide climate.

these states are the ones not worth bothering with

>>214873835
They produce all our food

>>214873862
okay, and?

There's also shitty geography in the US but they offset that by raping and pillaging whole nations on the way to the good stuff.

>>214873835
Eh, I mean I know it's a meme to call them the flyover states along with the others, but each of those states are rather large. It's kinda silly to say that none of those states have anything worthwhile in them. They each have pretty scenery or geography and some interesting sites. It's true they don't really have any impressive cities though besides the Twin Cities of Minnesota, St. Louis, and maybe Oklahoma City.

>>214874822
not much besides the southwest where people didnt live before AC was invented

>>214864374 (OP)
it's god's country

>>214873835
what's wrong with MIMAL?

>>214874822
you have to go back, Walid

>>214871934
Not really. The US has a climate similar to the Caucasus and Central Asian climate. The west coast is pretty similar to the Mediterranean climate THOUGH.

>>214876129
The Eastern US is fairly similar to China though winters in northern China can be really cold due to the Siberian air flow. Summer weather however is quite close. This has also allowed many invasive East Asian plant species to proliferate in the US as the climate is similar to their native habitat.
