Biggest Countries by Population, but... #7

Oh no, aliens have invaded the planet! The amount of people they killed in each country was based on how high its HDI was. Higher HDI = more survivors, lower HDI = less survivors. Can you guess the most populated countries after the alien invasion, as well as countries which suffered the most and the least?
Using the most recent available data for each country (2020-21)
Methodology: P*HDI², where P stands for former population
