I miss that a little since it also implies a network of roads so you could got for a ride and have some variety. Here, once you get out of the city there is a north-south road and an east-west interstate. If you consider a city as having over 30,000 people, the closest ones are over 100 miles away. There are CDPs, census designated places, that are unincorporated wide spots in the road that may have a gas station and a couple of small businesses. The bigger ones might even have a school. I don't even live in one of those. The county is 6,780 km2 (2,618 sq mi) and quite a few people just live in 'the county', That's handy around election time when the partisans are out soliciting votes. 'I'm county' gets rid of them fast since there aren't many offices I can vote for. I think the Australians are the only people who can appreciate the US 'flyover' country. The photos I've seen of the UK moors look familiar which is why I think the UK would fit into the eastern part of the state. It's semi-arid short grass prairie with no trees except along the rivers.
