To calculate the area of the country, you can use the formula:

\[
\text{Area} = \frac{\text{Population}}{\text{Population Density}}
\]

Given that the population is 8,264,472 people and the population density is 250 people per square mile, the calculation would be:

\[
\text{Area} = \frac{8,264,472 \text{ people}}{250 \text{ people/mi}^2}
\]

\[
\text{Area} = 33,058.088 \text{ mi}^2
\]

Rounding this to two decimal places gives:

\[
\text{Area} \approx 33,057.88 \text{ mi}^2
\]

Thus, the correct answer is:

**33,057.88 mi.²** (or **33,057.88 mi squared**)
