Countries With WAY Fewer People Than You Think 

As a Canadian I’m always surprised that people think we have a larger population than we do... the majority of Canada is practically inhospitable due to extreme weather.

Fun fact: Russia has a state "Sakha republic" that covers more area than entirety of India. While, India has a state "Uttar Pradesh" that has more population than entirety of Russia.

What you said about Taiwan and Australia is even more impressive when you consider the fact that only half the island of Taiwan is really populated

🇰🇿 Kazakhstan is unique in this matter too. Despite being 9th largest country in the world, it has only 64th largest population and is ranked 184th out of 195 in the population density rank. It is despite having pretty densely populated regions in the southern tip of Kazakhstan. A lot of land in the center of the country is not populated at all.

I love how Spain is used as a unit of measurement multiple times in this video.

most non-Canadians don't realize that Canada is primarily clustered around a few large dense cities, while the rest of the country is just wilderness.

Just so you guys know, the population of Australia is very low, but also growing incredibly fast, since colonization 240y ago the population went from around 800,000 to now 26mil. As someone who lives in Adelaide South Australia, the population is growing insanely fast, we live in a fairly crowded world down here, we just have a big no-no area of death (96% of land) It's funny a couple years back everyone celebrated 24 million, then 25 million, and we just kinda got to 26 mil and it's going too fast now ahaha.

Large countries like Australia, Namibia, Saudi Arabia and Libya have surprisingly only very few people living in them. It's almost like people can't survive in the desert.

I always find it mind-blowing that you could add a full one billion people to the US, and it'd still be the 3rd most populous country.

Here in New Zealand, almost all our population is focused in a few cities. You might cruise our state highways and think we must have a fairly big sized population because of the many small towns between the cities. But just turn off the highway and drive a few kilometres in either direction, and there's barely anyone living out there at all.

Your videos are amazing and I personally learn a lot from your videos.

Fun fact: China alone has more people than North America, South America, and Oceania combined

Map maker: "I'm gonna try to keep the general shape of the countries." Canada: "Good luck."

14:23 This guy is a legend at going to sponsors

I would say I know a decent amount about the African continent in terms of flags, geography, etc, but knew absolutely nothing about populations. Thank you so much, this was mind blowingly interesting!

I like that that map tries to keep countries in their relative locations so that the population data is still pretty understandable.

At 9:52, North Korea is 37M people, at 10:52 it's 25.6M people. I know uncommon things happen in North Korea but I doubt losing 11.4 M people in one minute is one of these things.

1:10 I'd like to see a similar map based on GDP. That would give a (somewhat) more accurate view of how significant each country is at a global level.

It's fun to look at all those tiny islands in Oceania that all have a half a square and then you look at Fiji

As a Canadian when I saw the population map at first glance I thought you forgot Canada hahaha

This is the perfect example for "Size doesn't matter"

The reason why canada has so little population even though its a big country and the 2nd largest country is because of its extreme weather, it is also the 2nd coldest country in the world

I love your video editing and kownledge

Geography teacher: "How many people live in China" RLL: "30 times Spain"

If I took a drink every time he said "combined" I'd be dead.

I think you should've mentioned how in Egypt despite being double the size of Saudi Arabia next door. Most people live around the river and the Delta region. So the people are even more crowded in arable lands and close to the river and very few live in the desert in the south. With many places having no one in Egypt.

fun fact: the state of são paulo alone has more than 44 million inhabitants, while my state ''minas gerais'' is the size of spain and has 20 million people '-'

1 square is equal to 500,000 people Iceland: Do I even exist?

My dad once told me about his time in school, back in the 70’s, and his teachers would talk about China. They said, “you know, China will soon be home to a billion people.” And his favorite response to that was, “that’s obscene.”

The thumbnail is misleading… The Tokyo itself only has around 14 million people while the greater Tokyo area (called Kanto Region) has a total of 38 million. The area shown in the thumbnail is Tokyo metropolis.

Canada has pretty crazy weather, like in some places it gets to -20C sometimes but in the summer it gets to 32C.

That map is actually incredibly accurate of Canada since 90% of the people live within 100 miles of the USA/Canada boarder.

Alternative Title: Canada, Spain and Russia getting bullied for 16 minutes. Edit: how did this get so many likes...

Our population in Botswana is 2,5 million but our country is as big ~ France . Oh you mentioned it, wow finally my country makes it to RU-vid 🇧🇼. First time I went to China(Guangzhou) I was so overwhelmed with the amount of people lol.

Cool video man you 👍

I love how you used my country Canada as an example in the thumbnail lol

12:19 actually over 3 billion devices use java

Eye opening. Very interesting!

I like how Australia’s popolation went up by a third

I, an Australian visited Tokyo, a city that has more people in it than my entire country. It was very strange.

Singapore has a higher population than Mongolia, despite Mongolia being over 2000 times larger than Singapore.

Could of elaborated on the size of Australia, basically the same size as Canada and a bit smaller than USA. Even the graphic used to represent Australia on the map is so small.

Ranking by the ratio of population to landmass would also be very cool

The craziest part about Hong Kong is that the vast majority of Hong Kong has no buildings on it. A lot of it is mountainous and the government tightly controls how much land they will allow you to build on.

South America has the best proportionality in this map with respect to the actual shape and size.

I asked my non-canadian friends for an estimate on the population of canada. 1 said “80 million?” another said “like 3 polar bears” and another said “I feel like it’s 55 million”. the polar bear one was more accurate tbh

9:56 Where did you get that number for Australia? We have 25 million people not 37 million. That is a 12 million difference!

Small mistake: At 9:54 the graphic shows that North Korea, Canada, and Australia all have 37.000.000 people. North Korea and Australia each have about 25 Million people, only Canada has 37 Million.

As a Canadian I can confirm few people live here. We're just so good at multitasking that it looks like a lot of people live here

This is amazing information

I love that he uses countries idk anything about as a point of comparison to another country idk anything about

"There might be something that you think is really big but might actually be much smaller"

Fun Fact: With some 45 million units sold, more Toyota Corollas have been made than the entire population of many countries

And now, the nations of the world Brought to you by! Real life lore 13:36

Australian population is 25M according to the squares on that map, not 37M. (Its current population as of December 2022 is 26M)

Well, 70% of the Earth's surface is ocean. Of the 30% remaining, there's deserts all over the place, there's Antarctica, cold wilderness in Russia and Canada... I wouldn't be surprised if we actually occupied less than 15% of the surface of the Earth!

Can we take a minute to appreciate the sheer amount of hardwork this guy has put in..

I like your vids

Very good video ...

The person who made that population map is a genius.

9:47 Australia's population is 25 million and North Korea's 25 million. 11:06 "Bulgeria"

Bruh ur plugs crack me tf up, i let them play through at the end just because of your segues into them

Can you do world maps but with military size?

Tokyo: 38 million people Eastern Russia: That’s more than us! Canada: 0.0

If you fly from Sydney to Jakarta, it's roughly a 7.5 hour flight, 5 of those hours is spent flying over Australia, mostly harsh desert.

I declare you to have the best narrating-facts voice in the world.

Im not even 20 seconds in and im already expecting Canada to be here

I’m Polish and the comparision to Canada actually blows my mind. I always think of Canada as this big, influential place and just the thought that there are less people living there than in my country is so weird. Eastern Europe’s population is actually shrinking due to low birthrate and immigration so in a few years they will probably surpass us. However, the most shocking thing to me is how many people actually live in countries like Nigeria and other African states. Their population is growing fast yet their role in world’s economy is insignificant. It makes me sad how many people live there in bad conditions without the access to things that are normal go the western world, like clean water, food and medical access. I hope their birthrate will go slower as the time goes and the place will actually get better because right now, it’s not made for that many people.

When i saw the new map my first thought was just. Where did Russia go?😂😂

I'm from rural Nova Scotia, Canada and practically everyone in the entire province refers to Halifax as 'the city' simply because it's the only place here with more than 40k people living in it.

On the site with the map, they're missing the island nation of Nauru.

North Korea loosing 12 million people between its two mentions in this video sounds like a typical North Korean thing to happen.

Canadian here. The reason we have so few people is we rely on huskies for transportation via sled and there's only so many good doggos to go around.

i love how michigan(where i'm from) is just flipping everyone off

Can you please say things about population about Singapore

"But there is something else that you might think is really big but is actually a lot smaller....." ;D -Reallifelore, 2021

Now we can say that Canada truly is America’s hat.

If you live on the island of Java, getting food is very easy and cheap, what is difficult is getting highly nutritious food

4:19 finally I can see me self in one of these. (To see exactly where i am then look for the small town known as brainerd MN

Drinking Game: Drink every time he says Combined.

Should’ve talked about how 95% of Egypt’s population live in the Nile River or Nile River Delta, it’s fascinating to see on google maps

As an Australian, I can say that we are, in fact, a VERY broad country. Despite our land mass, a lot of the land is desert, with temperatures in our wet season reaching the high 40's (Celsius). Because a lot of us are white and pasty as sh*t (yes, I'm white and pasty, and I know a lot of brown/black people live here too. I'm generalizing the fact that most costal residents are predominantly white), we all live as close to the beach as we can, so that the coastal wind can keep our temperatures down :)

12:50 Even the municipality of Chongqing has a higher population than Australia

As people that live in Jakarta metropolitan area, I can confirm Java, specifically where I live, is crowded. Yes there's still a lot of forests & mountains, but the big cities are crowded & the only forest there is concrete forest

I live in a large metro area in Java, i can't comprehend how living in other country feels like. Here in the place where i live, in just 30 minutes driving you can enter a rainforest, untouched beach, a mountainious area with rare occasion of small village and yet its called the most densely populated island.

Fun fact: If the entire world was as densely populated as Macau (54000 people per square mile), the worlds population would be around 3 trillion, and all 7 billion of us could fit in Germany. But if the entire world was as densely populated as Greenland (0.026 people per square mile), the worlds population would only be around 3.6 million. If we swap population densitys, Greenland's population would be over 43 billion while Macau's population would be straight up 0

I’m glad to know that this RU-vidr counted Wales as a separate country instead of saying it was a place in England 😩🖐

The crazy thing about Australia is how big it really is yet as an Australian, it seems like there are people everywhere in the country. I can’t imagine how dense other countries in the world really are

"We are used to seeing maps in terms of area". Shows a Mercator projection.

11:00 Hong Kong is about 2.3 times smaller than Luxembourg but only 25% of Hong Kong is land is used efficiently and only a tiny 8% is residential

I live in Winnipeg, and I can confirm that the thumbnail is true af. Southern parts of every province have way fewer people

"Java is home to more people than the entire country of Russia!" *Bonechilling*

That population map really gives some perspective on how seriously dense Asian countries are compared to everywhere else. Phillipines is really small irl, is not considered a big regional influence yet has higher population than every European country ex-russia.

There is a town in the northen- northest part of canada called Alert, its on the same latitude of northern greenland and somehow 62 people thought it was a good idea to live there

If i ate a cheeseburger every time he said "combined" I would be Nikocado Avocado.

"That means that even universal opposition to something in Scotland, Wales and Northeren Ireland, could be easily ignored in England" *Brexit* Thanks for the advice

8:54 UK has more people then france 13:56 France has more people than UK Wow, I didn't know it only took 5 minutes.

"To Put That Into Perspective" Rll Catchfraise 😂

Great video but you misspelled Bulgaria.
