    orders of magnitude larger

    It is not even one order of magnitude larger.

    Great Britain population: ~67M

    1 order of magnitude larger = 670,000,000.

    USA population: ~336,000,000.

    USA also has much more than 6 weeks time to do it. And the US is quite a bit more adept than great Britain in the communications department. Kind of their strong suit, actually.
