To calculate the area of the country, we can use the formula:
\[
\text{Area} = \frac{\text{Population}}{\text{Population Density}}
\]
Given that the population is 8,264,472 and the population density is 250 people per square mile, we can plug in the values:
\[
\text{Area} = \frac{8,264,472 \text{ people}}{250 \text{ people/mi}^2}
\]
Calculating this gives:
\[
\text{Area} = 33,058.188 \text{ mi}^2
\]
Rounding to two decimal places, it is approximately:
\[
33,058.19 \text{ mi}^2
\]
Among the options listed, the closest correct answer is:
**33,057.88 mi²**.
