Elbow Room Matters! Consider the following: Idaho County, Idaho measures 8,503 square miles (22,020 km2), but it has a population of just 16,267. Thus, it is slightly smaller than the state of New Jersey (which measures 8,722 square miles and has 9 million residents), but it is larger than Connecticut and Delaware, combined. (They measure 5,543 and 2,488 squares miles, respectively.) And ponder the geography and demographics of Sweetwater County, Wyoming: It measures 10,426 square miles (larger than the state of Maryland, which is 9,707 square miles) and has a population of just 45,267. Maryland has a population of just over 6 million people. Fewer people will mean fewer problems in the midst of a nationwide crisis.
