Sure, “TIL Europe is only seven countries.” Try the same but go Amsterdam -> Riga -> Athens -> Lisbon -> Amsterdam it’s 8000 km in a straight line. Europe might be smaller than North America, but it’s not that small.
In the US, the equivalent would be: Seattle -> Boston -> Miami -> San Diego -> Seattle. That’s 8500 miles (~13,000 km), and doesn’t even go to Alaska or Hawaii. I don’t think you can drive around Alaska, but if you could, it would be a similar distance.
Europe isn’t small, but it is a lot smaller than the US.

The US is a little below 10.000.000 km³, Europe is a little over 10.000.000 km³. I didn’t go to Russia, the UK, Iceland, Finland, Norway and Sweden.
