Promote your City

Here in Germantown we've got the Department of Energy. And lots of houses, and lots of big box stores, and lots more houses. But since DoE has nominal ownership of America's nuclear weapons, you could call us a nominal nuclear power.

Brest to Karlsruhe, Germany is only 10 hours and 42 mins. Hard to drive much farther than that in a Euro country.

I figured that the poor, retarded Euros who lack a university education would have designed some terrible highway system which looks like one of MC Escher's nightmares.

And then go look at Tokyos' nightmare of a highway system. Spaghetti junction is simple to navigate compared to that.

Using the languages metric would be perfectly fair for comparing US cities though, no?

No. It would punish cities like Miami who get immigrants from many different Latin American countries that all speak Spanish.

62 hours from Sydney, NS to Victoria, BC. 2/3 of that through US, distance 6400km. 68 hours for the all-Canadian route, 6200 km.

77hrs, 7000km sydney to whitehorse, yukon territory

Don't know if anything else is much worse.

The longest drive I could get west of the Ukraine was 13 hours, 6 mins from Trento in the Alps to Messina at the tip of the boot in Italy. Damn, Europe is ridiculously small.

Weird...

Bangor, Maine to Seattle - 3,278 miles, 49 hours

Miami to Seattle - 3,357 miles, 49 hours

You could make that a lot longer if you included Alaska.

Great lakes

It's a bit of a cheat. And yeah, I already did it. 8000km, half through Canada (Miami to Anchorage)

You could make that a lot longer if you included Alaska.

That's cheating (have to cross through Canada), but here goes...

Miami to Wasilla, AK - 5,001 miles, 83 hours

edit: Key West, FL to Homer AK - 5,408 miles, 92 hours

[Kuciwalker]

Best I can get is 5407 miles, 92 hours from Key West to Homer, AK.

Looking at satellite photos it seems Google Maps is missing a lot of the roads in Alaska, so you can probably do better.
