>>2503339>There are 25 million people in Appalachia.As long as we're consulting Wikipedia, the entire Appalachian region is 205,000 sq. mi. with around 25m pop., as you say. California is 163k sq. mi. with around about 37m pop.
This means that California has around 227 people per sq. mi., while Appalachia has around 122 people per sq. mi. In other words, Appalachia has around half the population density of California; and, like California, Appalachia's populations are heavily concentrated in cities.
The heart of the Appalachians around the nexus of TN, VA, WV, KY, and NC is very sparsely populated and stuffed full of wildlife. I named only an obvious few rather than consulting Wikipedia to dispense an autistic list like you just did.
>lol. We have all of that...but also Bison, Pronghorn antelope, Mountain goats, Big Horn sheep, Mule deer, Moose, Elk, Grizzly bears, wolves, wolverines, marten, bobcats, lynx, beaver, foxes, river otters, marmots, gophers, hares and 15 types of bats lolChances are, all of Appalachia has several times the total biological diversity of wherever you're describing.
No state but Alaska even mostly fits all of your criteria, dumbass. No other US state (or Canadian territory/province) with ~1m pop. is even remotely the same size as Appalachia, unless it happens to be far huger.
You got your wires crossed while you were doing all your Googling.
