Wisconsin versus The Netherlands aka Holland - 4 times = 25%
UTM16 - WGS84 - projection
Always told the folks that "The Netherlands" - NL - did fit roughly 4 times into Wisconsin - WI
With one of my great GIS-DTM-tools - "Global Mapper" - I got it visible too -
Population 2007 - WI = 5.5 Million, NL = 16.5 Million
Population 2019 - WI = 5.8 Million, NL = 17.2 Million
People on a square mile - WI = 99 Sq mi , NL = 1023 Sq mi

Another question is mostly about the weather. So I made this 6-month graph
Fahrenheit - Average temperature - Celcius
Max and Min temperatures are slightly higher or lower as in this graph
Max 50F and Min 30F will give an average of 37F in my formula i.e.
For Wisconsin we do have a "land-climate", while the milder "sea-climate" effects Holland
Mid January the plants are already growing. "Sneeuwklokjes" are mostly the first

Equatorial circumference of Earth is about 24901 miles (40075 km)
However, from pole-to-pole — the meridional circumference — Earth is only 24860 miles (40008 km) around
This shape, caused by the flattening at the poles, is called an oblate spheroid

max 38-32-27-21-16-10-04-00-01-07-12-18-23-29-34-40 min Celsius...
Another difference - Sunrise and Sunset
In winter max 1:12 hrs less daylight, while in summer max 1:18 hrs more in Vollenhove
As a result of the latitude position - see numbers and image below -
VOLLENHOVE - LAT: 52° 41' 00"N - LONG: 05° 57' 00"E
GREEN BAY - LAT: 44° 31' 00"N - LONG: 88° 01' 00"W
My rule of thumb:
"You can fit Holland in the same position as the Calgary-Edmonton area"
Wisconsin fits 42°30'N - Border Spain/France - and 47°00'N - same height as Mid-Switzerland
