Side by side

Population density

Czechia is 4.0 times more densely populated than United States — 138 against 35 people per km². Density is where area and population interact, and it often reverses the impression the headline figures give — a large country with a small population can feel emptier than a small crowded one by an enormous margin.

Practical differences

• Different currencies: the Czech koruna and the United States dollar.
• United States spans 6 time zones, so "local time" there is not a single answer.
• Different continents — Europe and North America.

Czechia

Landlocked and ringed by low mountains, so almost every river flows outward — the Elbe to the North Sea, the Oder to the Baltic, the Morava to the Black Sea. Czechia drinks more beer per head than any other country, and Pilsner Urquell in 1842 was the first pale lager.

United States

Third or fourth largest country in the world depending on how China's area is counted. It spans six standard time zones across the fifty states, from UTC-10 in Hawaii to UTC-5 on the east coast. Death Valley holds the highest reliably recorded air temperature on Earth, 56.7 °C in 1913, and is 86 m below sea level; Denali, 5,500 km away in Alaska, is 6,190 m.

Neutral facts only. Nothing here addresses politics, government, economics or which country is preferable in any respect — population is the one figure that dates, and it carries its year.
