Coterminous:

  1. having the same border or covering the same area
  2. being the same in extent; coextensive in range or scope [Collins Dictionary]

Interesting. Noted in “I’m not afraid to say it: Annexing Canada is not a good idea,” Alexandra Petri, WaPo:

I also think that, once we annex Canada, we would have no idea what to do with it. We’d be out of our depth in so many ways. First, it would make the country a weird shape and ruin all the maps. Also Alaska, which likes its space, would be stressed out to find itself suddenly coterminous with the rest of the United States. We should leave Alaska be; it’s full of bears.
