Yes, it's very confusing. Alaska is shown as a "country" separate from CONUS. This source...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o...encies_by_area
shows US as larger than Brazil, perhaps due to the inclusion of Alaska.
It might make more sense if it were described as a list by size of "land masses" rather than "countries".
it also shows Hawaii that way but if you look at the underline the total land mass of the USA when including all of its disconnected lands and protectorates it is actually 3rd ignoring Antartica since it is not a countryQuote:

Yep, every one thinks "bigger is better", but, it is for sure NOT in a lot of cases!!!!
