Countries with the Least Dense Road Networks

Even compared to other levels with bad geographical conditions as well as corruption, the DRC's road network is notoriously bad. This means that travelling by canoe is the primary means of transport. There lacks any paved road connecting the eastern cities of the DRC to the west of the country (including Kinshasa). In reality, there are only 2 paved long-distance roads, one being a road going through the western cities in the DRC and one which connects Kinshasa to the Atlantic ocean. Despite the population density there are more similarities to the road system of Mongolia than that of other African countries. The reason this probably doesn't appear on the list is that many of the unpaved informal roads are counted by the government while in many places there wouldn't be any proper recording of it in the data which Wikipedia uses.

@agoel, you're probably right. Looking at the Wikipedia page, only 2% of the roads they counted in the DRC are paved. I'm guessing many of the other 98% are barely even roads.
