This is United States of America 🇺🇸 — what it is, and what sits on the far side of the planet from it. The antipode is the point you would reach by digging straight through the centre of the Earth.

Start near the middle of United States of America and dig straight down through the centre of the Earth, and you would surface around 37.2367° S, 80.6852° E, in Indian Ocean 🌊. That spot is open water; the nearest coast is French Southern and Antarctic Lands 🇹🇫, roughly 1,552 km (964 miles) north-east — far enough out that no shore would be in sight.
The closest settlement of any size is Port Louis, Mauritius, about 2,937 km (1,825 miles) from the point.
