France is over twice the size of Michigan and driving around it (hugging the borders) would take a lot longer than 30 hours.

Not a LOT longer: https://feddit.uk/comment/8002086
I personally got 37 hours with a similar test, so it depends a lot if it's highways or whatnot what Google gives as a the duration.
But yeah I guess not a "lot" longer but if you actually drove that, you'd have to account for breaks, and then adding something like 7 hours of driving is quite a lot. Not a full day, but..

Who in their right mind goes to Mackinaw twice?
Someone who wants to cross from the lower to the upper peninsula and back without leaving the state?
Unless there’s a ferry service somewhere that I’m not seeing, there don’t seem to be a whole lot of other alternatives.
On a bicycle? Easy.
Midwesterners obviously haven't visited London's M25.
That's cheating and some European countries are much bigger than Michigan. Here's with two points only:
35h in Quebec, not counting the time you'll spend changing your wheels every now and then in the northern part (can't patch a tire sliced by sharp rocks)
51h by road, both locations are in Quebec, one is just inaccessible without going through Labrador if you want to drive the whole way.

Well this post made me curious... did you know you could max out the mapping tool in google maps for destinations?!

The top of Michigan is a shark.
I know someone who has a shitty car like that
Now do California!
San Diego to Crescent City is about 13 hours or 900 miles, so that’s a good start, but then you’re stuck with no other option than either crossing into Oregon or going back the same way you came.
Also, going back down on the eastern side of the Sierra Nevada is remarkably difficult without crossing into Nevada. I was able to get the following route, however, which at 1,885 miles and 32 hours beats out Michigan ever so slightly: https://maps.app.goo.gl/otW9AFKewssi9ZfXA
California wins this one, but by a much smaller margin that expected.
