•        I have gone by the World Bank figures that I linked to above rather than using what newspapers laughingly call statistics. I think that an independent body is less likely to present distorted figures
•        I have cut and paste the entire 212 'states' that they have identified into an Excel document.
•        I have then arranged them according to density of population
•        Rather than producing the entire 200+ figures I have only reproduced the figures up to where we get to United Kingdom at no. 42
•        Assuming that ONS give the population density of England as 413 per sq. km is accurate, that would place England in 22nd place – Just below India'
