US States range in land area size from Rhode Island at 1.545 square miles to Alaska at 655,384 square miles. 40 of our 50 States have land areas from 32,020 square miles to 164,000 square miles. Many States are the size of countries and produce higher GDPs.

If Alaska was its own country, with a land area of 655,384 square miles, it would be the 16^th largest country. Texas at 268,596 square miles has a land area larger than 156 countries.

Our 9 smallest states have land areas from 1,545 to 12,406 square miles.  Our next 8 smallest states have land areas from 24,230 to 45,054.
