	North Carolina is smaller than Georgia by about 5600 square miles, even with water included.

	... and Minnesota should be included as an answer. (Either that, or specify that its lake border with Michigan counts as a border. Normally it doesn't.)

	@Dralcoffin, thanks for the catch. I forgot that North Carolina and Georgia share a border.

	@thedpr, I am not clear what you mean by "Normally it doesn't". Either it does or it doesn't, and, factually, it does.

	Is water area included? And Minnesota is normally not considered to border Michigan because the Great Lakes borders are so arbitrary.

	Georgia is larger than Florida by land area (but not total area), so you may want to clarify.

	@MisterF, the borders in the Great Lakes are not "arbitrary". They are codified in law. From the Twenty-Fourth Congress, when Michigan was admitted to the United States: :...the said State (Michigan) shall consist of and have jurisdiction over all of the terrority included within the following boundaries, and over none other, to wit: ...thence, with the said boundary line between the United States and Canada thorugh the Detroit River, Lake Huron, and Lake Superior, to a point where the said line last touches Lake Superior; thence, in a direct line through Lake Superior, to the mouth of the Montreal river..." You can see this boundary line on practically any online map (Google maps, Bing maps, etc.). http://img703.imageshack.us/img703/6152/bordeso.jpg

	I suppose I should have used a different word. I meant to say that when you are on a boat in the middle of the lake, without some kind of GPS, you really don't know what state's waters you are in. Also, you can't drive from Minnesota to Michigan without entering another state or Canada.
