On the European landmass, the longest distance is approximately from Brest, France to Uralsk, Kazakhstan. This is a distance of about 3,930 kilometers. Including islands, the longest distance in Europe would approximately be from Ísafjöròur, Iceland to Uralsk, Kazakhstan. This distance is about a total of 4,300 kilometers.
The width of Russia is approximately from Baltiysk to Uelen, a distance of about 6,550 kilometers.
The width of the United States is about 6,000 kilometers (Cape Prince of Wales, Alaska to West Quoddy Head, Maine). This means the US is either 2,070 or 1,700 kilometers wider than Europe, and 550 kilometers skinnier than Russia.
