I did some comparison, GAK. Florida is only 63% the size of New Zealand but has 4.3 times as many people so we have a lot of boats (and Corvettes). Most of the Florida population, particularly in the southern half of the state where I live, is near the coast with swamps, citrus groves, sugar cane fields (in the southeast), and cattle ranches making up the interior. It used to be and still may be that Florida is second only to Texas for cattle in the U.S. Also, Florida's highest point above sea level is about 105 meters versus 3754 meters for NZ - we don't even have a decent hill in this state, nevermind any mountains.
