US Area Increases by 1,000,000 Square Km. PHOTO/ IFL
JAKARTA – The United States has expanded by 1,000,000 square kilometers, it will become the largest country in the world, beating Russia which currently has an area of 17,098,242 square kilometers.
Regional growth of that size would make the United States have an area of 18,098,242 square kilometers.
Mead Treadwell, former Governor of Alaska and former chairman of the US Arctic Research Commission, stated that ‘America is bigger than it was yesterday’.
“This is not a purchase of Alaska, but new land and subsurface resources under controlled land,” said Mead as reported by Unilad, Sunday (14/1/2024).
There are several possibilities for how the United States could grow that big. One possibility is the annexation of territory from other countries. Another possibility is to expand into new areas, such as into the ocean or into outer space.
If the United States annexes territory from another country, it is likely that the country that will be annexed will be Canada or Mexico. Both countries directly border the United States.
If the United States expands into new territories, it is likely that the areas that will be exploited are the oceans. The United States has a very long coastline, so it has the potential for expansion into the ocean.
Another possibility is the United States expanding into space. The United States is one of the leading countries in the field of space exploration. If the United States succeeds in developing colonies in space, then these colonies will increase the area of the United States.
Here are some possible impacts of growing the United States by 1,000,000 square kilometers:
The United States will become the largest country in the world, and will have a stronger position in the international world.
The United States will have more natural resources, which can be used to improve the welfare of its people.
The United States will have a larger population, which could increase its economic growth.
