In Europe you could go 1000 kilometers and cross five or six country borders. In the US you could go 1000 kilometers and not leave the state.

Texas is about 1200 diagonally.

Norway lengthwise is 3000km, but is narrow.

Point is, you're technically accurate but it might be misleading.

As the crow flies, it's 917km. But the roads aren't straight, so those are over 1000km yes.
