Can we try to make a list together linking all US states with almost all European countries?

I start...

I was joking when I said Germany, mostly to annoy my austrian friend

but I have been told that yeah, Australia is like Texas with an accent!
I can see the Texas and Australia comparison. Similar weather and similar cultures to some degree and neither speak understandable English

These comparisons always make me laugh. What part of California? Certain not the Sierras which are better compared to Switzerland.

As far as Washington goes, this would only be true of Western Washington. The eastern part of that state is basically desert and semi desert. To the best of my knowledge, Norway doesn't have any of that.

Spains northwest coast has a lot similarities (Climate,Geography) to the northwestern coast of California, aswell
I'ts true that Spain doesn't really have a desert like California. But they atleast have a semi-desert.
