United States is the third or fourth largest country by total area. To cross North America from East to West, it may take more than 3,000 miles (or more than 5,000 km). A cross from North to South may require almost 3,000 miles as well. The sheer size of the United States, coupled with the lack of one uniting rail system, makes traveling by car one of the most practical ways to get around the country.

Some areas from Middle America may be desert. To the West, you have also the Rockies or the Cascade Mountains.
