The map projection used (pic related top) makes the northern portion look larger than it actually is. I used that projection so the lines would be straight because people who don't have a background in geography already whine about it not feeling true to them.
Ideally I would have used an Albers Projection (pic related bottom), which is great for the contiguous United States, but I knew once someone saw the curved latitude lines, they'd post something ignorant.
