Is your country crowded or sparsely populated?

Australia, overall, is very sparsely populated. WE have the largest ratio of area per person in the world, although I can't quote offhand what that is. But do you know what is odd about it? 90% of our population live in cities on the coast.

Oh my country is very much densely populated. I think you know India. it is second higest populated country in the world. the population is more than 110 crores. there are so amny houses buit each day. it is also getting very expensive here.

I live in the Uk too and I do think we are overcrowded. There is hardly any countryside left in our town because there a so many houses being built, houses which few people can afford.

I live in Canada and the population is about 35 Million. The country is very large about 3500km from coast to coast across and many thousand km to the Arctic ocean, that is why we say in one of our songs from sea to sea to shining sea. We have very large and dense populations in major cities such as Montreal, Toronto, Winnipeg and Vancouver. We have many landscapes and climates. The East Coast and Newfoundland has a maritime climate and lots of fishing villages. Quebec has charming villages, green fields and pastures in places, other places are forested. Ontario in the populated areas has villages, farms and cities of various densities. Manitoba, Saskatchewan have the prairies and the big skies. Alberta has the prairies and the magnificent Rocky Mountains. BC is a dreamland of ocean fjords, mountains cities and villages. It has a wonderful climate, very mild and it hardly ever snows in the winter but it rains a lot. If you go further north on the coast you will find the Northern rain forests. Nunavut and the Northwest territories are in the Arctic, maybe 3 months of summer, they are the land of the midnight sun, 22 to 23 hours of daylight, but long and bitter cold winters with dark dark days and typical tundra vegetation. The Yukon I have not seen personally but from what I know it is sparsely populated but has more vegetation in places than the other Arctic territories. So to answer your last question is it crowded? yes in places no in very large expanses. I went from Sept Isles in Quebec to Labrador City by train. The trip took from 8 in the morning to 5 in the afternoon and there was one inhabited place along the route, the rest just forestland and grassy stretches, maybe a fly-in camp once in a while or a tent in the wilderness.

I live in the desert (though they're calling it a Valley) of Southern California. The numbers are still a mystery to me but I believe we now have around 35,000 people living here. But I can't see them. LOL. It's not crowded at all. There's stretches of empty land on either side of our home and our "valley" is dotted with ranches, farms and a miles and miles of natural forests. So the landscape is both brown rocky/stony mountains, dry flat desert land to the left and green lush forests to the right. We have three lakes to cool off in Summer. That's it in a nutshell. I would love to visit your English country side with the little villages and castles. Tell us about The Borders. Gtargirl needs to know. :)

Well, my country as they say is populated... with almost 100 million people... but i say the areas that bear most of this population are the cities... they become very crowded and houses, apartments, and condominiums become very expensive... but if you go to the provinces... you will not experience and crowd... Well people go live in the cities because that is where they can find work... but i heard the government is doing something to fix this... since establishing factories are now encouraged in provinces...

We just crossed this figure. 1000000000. We are second largest in the world. You see heads and no tails all over the cities and all over the villages. Less and less forests and more and more humans. So much forests are destroyed for habitation, elephants come and crush humans in villages. Though government is trying to control the population, the number keep welling. So also that of our neighbour China I suppose. People, People and People everywhere.

I am Indian so I believe no need to say that it is the world’s second most populated nation, after China. The population mark crossed 1 billion some years back so what more can I say on this. The landscape…well India has been called the epitome of the world in the sense that whatever flora, fauna, landscape type, climate etc you will find anywhere in the world, you will find some representation of it in India. It is the only country which has both the lion and the tiger as native animals, it has both deserts and plains, mountains and sea coast, fertile plains to rugged valleys. Regarding climate…while one part of the country enjoys extreme snowfall, another part has mild summer. It is both above the tropic of cancer and within the topics. I think God was not exactly concentrating when he created India. A mad country inhabited by mad people lol!

I am from India.My country ranks number 1 as far as population is concerned. The population is above 2 billion. The city areas are very much crowded and there is no place for living. I really go mad when I think about the future of India. Good day.It was nice repling to your discussion.

Hi, I also live in the UK so maybe I should answer that question on behalf of Slovenia where I have a holiday home. Slovenia has a population of less than 3 million. Over then per cent live in the capital Ljubljana. Our flat is in Maribor, the second city which has a population of about 80,000. In the centre and the subrubs most people live in blocks of flats so it seems crowded but there are lots of parks and squares. Also, with it being a small city you can get quickly to the countryside - the mountains are great!

I live in Pakistan. The population of Pakistan is increasing very rapidly. The area of Pakistan is 796096 square kilometres and The current population of Pakistan is 157935100 and density of population is 198 per square kilometre. It is the complete population of Pakistan but it is different if we consider area wise, like the city in which I live, karachi, it's area is 3530 square kilometres, the population is 11608000 and the density of population is 3957 per square kilometre so it's a very populated city.

Hi,maximax8.My country China has the largest population in the world.^_^I live in Beijing and there are so many people crowd in the city.Public transportation system is a risk for every one.Though the recent situation is much better than before,I don't like to go out at rush hours. But actually,in China,especially in rural areas and remote areas,just minority people live in there. For people living in big cities,these unexploited areas are mysterious and fresh.

i dont think it is over populated the government think it is..

i come from china,shanghai. As we all know, china has the largest number of people in the world. shanghai is the most crowded city in china,which lives over 20 million citizen in there. You will never imagine how terrible and terrific traffic jam.People's living quality becomes worse,for example,now the mid-class citizen can't endure the high price of the flat.

hi, Well iam from india and its is highly populated. Bombay is where iam living and it is a very crowded place. Its busy almost 24 hours a day and people call it a city which never sleeps. U.k is populated as well and lot of migrants from asia there. Here in india we have some very beautiful places but due to this heavy population and pollution we are not able to preserve them. Cheers, Tutul

I reckon it depends on the region or state that one resides in this country, as to whether it is densely populated or not. the state I am currently in is rather sparsely populated - unless you want to tabulate the number of livestock occupying the acres :) I live in a rather hilly area geographically - and love it - hill billies make the nicest down home folk.

I am from China. Therefore, you know our population is number one all over the world. And it's very crowded in the big cities, especially in the business streets. It leads to many problems because of it.

my country is way way way more crowded than any other country in the world I would say. We are about 640 square km and there are 4.5 million residents here. There are still some jungle areas and some forested rainforest nature reserves and we have one of the most beautiful open zoo concepts in the world where the animals are hedged in naturally through moats instead of ugly fences. But in the city and in the suburban living areas, it is so crowded! just thinking of going on the train later makes me feel claustrophobic. my country is basically a metropolitan city and not much else.

I live in Canada but I don't know what the total population is here. Our country deffinetly isn't crowded though. We have a lot of country side and a lot of towns and cities, but it is not crowded. Housing in our country is also very expensive and so is the cost of living very high. We have the poor and the middle class and the rich. We, my hubby and I, are inbetween the poor and the middle class so we can't afford to buy a house.

Australia is very sparsely populated. The latest figure , just abve 21 Million. The landscape is very hard to describe. It is a very vast island Continent. It has every imaginable aspect of a beautiful landscape. Mountains, rivers, deserts, lakes you name it we have got it.
