Tasmania is a fascinating, if not often overlooked, state of Australia. But while it's small compared to Australia itself, the island is actually quite large! All told, Tasmania is roughly the same size as the island country of Sri Lanka or the U.S. state of Florida. Despite this size, however, it remains Australia's least populated state and is often forgotten about, even for many Australians. So why don't more people live in Tasmania, Australia's big, empty island?
