What if you account for roads not being straight?

Finally we are really close to r/mapporn level content! lowest effort ever.

Also that's straight line distance, not walking distance. This map should be isochrones not uncropped screenshots.

So France and Germany are only like 500 miles wide?! I've never looked into it but I've always thought they were so much bigger🤔

Are you trying to tell me that there is no contiguous land route of at least 1000 miles that falls down at her door?!

Europe is just small, 1000 miles is a little more than a third of the way between New York and Los Angeles, about an eighth of the way between New Delhi and Beijing, about a tenth of the way between Tripoli and Johannesburg, about a seventh of the way between Caracas and Buenos Aires, a bit less than half of the way between Perth and Brisbane, and about half the way between Casey Research Station and Halley Research Station in Antarctica.

That radius pretty much guarantees you'll find a suitable door to fall down at
