More people live in those 200 miles than live in Australia, a country of comparable size to the US.
In fact almost as many people live in the tristate area as live in Australia. Brooklyn alone would be Australia's second largest city in a fraction of the area of Melbourne.

However, since karma is free, I'll point out that the population of Australia is less than that of many well-separated regions of the U.S., which is unsurprising given that its total population is 1/13th of the U.S.'s.
