Tbh, it feels kinda unfair to use Texas as a comparison and describe it as “one of our 50 states”, when you could fit the original 13 states inside it.
Comparing the Paris metropolitan area (almost 20% of France’s population) to the Boston-Washington corridor might work slightly better (with them having a similar percentage of their nation’s population, but Paris metro being several times denser).
