I would definitely not divide it into 2 big and all the rest way smaller. I would say 4 medium to big, the rest way smaller.

The netherlands for instance is nearly 95.000 times bigger than vatican city!! Or for a little less extreme comparison (because comparing to vatican gives everything huge numbers) it is 131 times larger than Malta (compared to less than 6 times smaller than the UK, so definitely closer to the bigger ones on the scale)

Luxembourg isnt tiny, but still quite small it is sort of inbetween ish but decided to put it with the small ones, it is 8 times bigger than malta but 12 times smaller than belgium, so closer to the smaller ones.)

Amusingly, due to its size the population density of the Vatican (1,818/km2) is higher than its actual population of approx 850-1000.

It's not. Just the first number in the density figure is higher. If you divide it by square km, then it's the same.

Kind of like saying 6/3 is more than 2. It's the same number.

He is saying that the population of 1 square kilometer with the Vatican City's density is greater than the population of the Vatican City. I found this fascinating as well, Corrode.

If that's what he's saying then he probably should have said that. But he didn't. He said the population density is higher than the actual population.

What Corrode said was correct. The population density is higher than the population, since the area is less than 1km^2.

The population density in people per square kilometre is numerically higher than the population. But the population density and the population do not share the same units so one cannot be said to be intrinsically higher than the other.

Also kalbahamut it isn't anything like saying that. It is more like saying that my age is greater than my weight. It depends heavily on what units you use.

he's not using different units. The unit is people. And 1,818 * 0.44 is 799, or the same exact number often given for the Vatican's total population. He can only say that it is higher by ignoring the "/km2"

No, the unit for population is people, and the unit for population density is people per square kilometre.

I find that those who scoff at or ridicule others who correct false information are frequently the same ones who enjoy spreading false information themselves, and deserve to be scoffed or ridiculed.

No to be fair I see what Corrode's getting at. Yeah it's mathematically obvious, but it's still a funny reflection on how tiny the Vatican is.

It also means that the Vatican normally has around 2 popes per square kilometre. Just to confound this, it currently has around 4 popes per square kilometre if we include emeritus..

It merely means that Vatican City has an area of under 1 square kilometer. Any country that it that small has the same result.

Me too. It's the only one of the micronations missing. I imagine that, because it's smack in the middle of the mountains, it can't accommodate a high population density.

But Liechtenstein is also in the middle of the mountains. Andorra is actually about 3 times bigger than Liechtenstein in area but less than twice as many people.

Compared with Andorra, Liechtenstein is green and flat. Andorra always feels to me like an arbitrary area right in the middle of some mountains. Everything is a snowy slope or a congested road. Or, of course, both.

Not really if you compare it to other cities. Being a city state it is just the city, unlike countries that can have rural areas between cities. Dhaka for instance is more than twice as densely populated than monaco. (to name a few other that are more densely populated, mumbai, cairo delhi, tokyo. And all of them are much bigger, so more impressive to be that densely populated)

Shows how consistently dense the uk and Germany are. Especially considering that Scotland wales and Northern Ireland are fairly sparse, England has 55 million people in a fairly small area.

How is the uk consistently dense if like you say yourself scotalnd, wales and northern ireland are not densely populated? Not distributed equally at all, more than 80% of the population of the Uk live in england.

More than 84% even to be precise, while it only makes up 53% of the UK area. The density of England is nearly the same as that of the Netherlands

Things change fast. Netherlands are already above 500/km² density. Vatican city dropped to about 2000, and Monaco Is above 26000 now. The others actually stayed nearly the same (about 10/km² max, so negligible).
