How Many UKs Fit in Western Australia? About 10.4

Western Australia (WA) spans ~2,529,875 km². The United Kingdom covers ~243,610 km².

Calculation: 2,529,875 ÷ 243,610 ≈ 10.38

So you could fit the UK into Western Australia a little over 10 times—with room to spare.

Perspective

• WA is Australia's largest state, covering 1/3 of the continent.
• It's larger than Argentina, bigger than Kazakhstan.
• Population: ~2.8 million (UK: ~67 million)—so WA is vast but sparsely settled.

Next time you look at a map, imagine ten United Kingdoms laid out across the western third of Australia. That's Western Australia.
