That’s awesome. Considering that Alaska is an afterthought on most maps of the U.S., this seems only fair.

Sort of? "It's a tiny section of our population" is a pretty legit reason to pay less attention, though.
I'm surprised Hawaii isn't a lot bigger. Seems like those two states would team up on maps.
I'm torn. Alaska is about 100 times the size of Hawaii, so this seems about right. But also I like the thought of enormous Hawaii besides very big Alaska.
It's about sending a message.
They made Hawaii about the same size as the other 48 combined though. I guess that's something.
On second look, realizing Texas got absolutely trashed by this map.
Hawaii being mas o menos the same size as the 48 is awesome.
