> tiny Island nation.

It's not actually tiny. A little larger in area and population than Michigan. Only 7 US states are larger or more populous.

For a more international comparison it's about the same size as Bulgaria but has a lot more people.

I mean, by comparison to the entire U.S., Michigan's non-water area is only 2.5% of the overall U.S.

Relativistically and logistically speaking, it's a tiny amount of land to cover with internet.
