I still like this one: Dalhart, TX is closer to the capital cities of six other states than it is to Austin.

I mean, that looks incorrect. I want it it to be correct so please prove me wrong. Most of the Caribbean and Central America are closer. Iceland is almost as close as Russia.

Bangladesh has a greater population than Russia (164M vs 144M).

Iceland is almost as close as Russia.
The distance from mainland to mainland at the narrowest point in the Bering Strait is only 55 miles. Cuba, for example, is 90 miles.
ETA: Iceland is 3,559 miles from the closest point to the US, as the crow flies.

Alaska is our northernmost state and, because of the international dateline running through the Aleutian Islands, it’s also both our westernmost and easternmost.

Bershine aka Mayra Hills has the largest augmented breast in the world. She is some German woman and has a 32Z bra size.

Well obviously Alaska and Russia are extremely close as you noted. But Alaska is not commonly included in the “continental” United States.
