Kosovo and the US on a world map
Kosovo reaches from 42°N to 43°N; the US from 19°N to 71°N, with Hawaii in the south and Alaska in the far north.

It draws Kosovo about 1.84 times its real size and the US about 2.3 times (Alaska far more than Florida). So on a normal world map the US looks about 1,129 times the size of Kosovo, when it is really about 903 times. The equal-area map above shows the real difference.
