If you happen to live in town and that town happens to be where the State put the courthouse for that county.

Plenty of counties in this country are bigger than Rhode Island -- not just in the middle of nowhere, either.

True. I live in a county that is twice the size of Rhode Island. I work in a county that is the size of Rhode Island. And both counties are far from what you would call "rural" [1].

[1] For the record, Palm Beach County, Fl (main city: West Palm Beach) and Broward County, Fl (main city: Ft. Lauderale), respectively.
