>>1361577Size does matter. For example in AZ and NV (two states you counted off as just deserts) Are both individually the same size as the combination of PA, OH, and WV. And 1/4 of AZs land area is conifer forests, meaning it essentially has more forests spread throughout it than the entire land area of West Virginia, on top of having 70,000 square miles of arid and semi-arid desert. You should also consider than even the combined population of AZ and NV is still less than the population of PA.
