> All of England is only one and a half times as large as Greater Los Angeles County

What? That's not even close to true by land area or population.

Greater Los Angeles - 87,490 km2 England - 130,279 km2

87,490 * 1.5 = 131,235

Pretty close if you ask me.

That's if you include all of San Bernadino and Riverside Counties, which stretch north and east up to Las Vegas and Arizona.

Which is complete nonsense.
