Our state is the most large in area, but if you look at the map differently? Imagine: a map of the world, in which the largest countries will occupy the largest place.
Everyone knows that the population of India and China is numerous. But does the population density of the countries of the world differ from the ranking of the largest of them? At the same time, let's see what place it occupies in different ratings.
In contact with
Most populated regions
- China. He has long and rightfully won the palm, lives here 1.384 billion people. This is more than 18% of the world's population.
- The second largest is India, and there is a little less - 1.318 billion people. In shares, this is 17.5% of the number of people on Earth.
- In third place, they entrenched with a huge backlog. 4.3% live here, and the population is approximately 325 million people- not even a quarter of the people of China are going to.
- Next up is Indonesia. 261.6 million people make up 3.55% of the population.
- Brazil, with 207.7 million people, rounds out the top five.
- Next comes Pakistan, lives here 197.8 million people.
- Nigeria is in seventh place with 188.5 million people.
- Bangladesh is home to 162.8 million people.
- Ninth place in this ranking is occupied by Russia, we live 146.4 million people. This is 1.95% of the inhabitants of the planet.
- And Japan closes this ranking of countries with 126.7 million people.
Well here is a list that lists the most populated countries in the world. In it, the combined population of India and China is more than a third of the total population of the globe.
- The most populous Chinese city of Chongqing, more than 53,200,000 people live here. And this is more than lives, for example, in Ukraine or Saudi Arabia.
- Shanghai, with its rural suburbs, is home to over 24,200,000 people.
- The third in this list was the city of Karachi, a port in Pakistan - 23.5.
- The capital of China, Beijing, occupies only the fourth line - 21.5.
- This list includes another capital - Delhi, with a population of 16.3 million people. Actually, the capital of India is New Delhi, but this city is part of the Delhi metropolis.
- The African city of Lagos is the largest port in Nigeria - 15.1.
- In Istanbul - 13.8.
- Tokyo - 13.7.
- The fourth largest city in China, Guangzhou - 13.1.
- Closes this list is another Indian city - Mumbai - 12.5 million people.
Moscow is not included in the TOP-10, it occupies 11th place in this list. Together, these cities are home to more than 200 million people, and each of them is comparable in number to some states.

Density ranking
The population density of the countries of the world is also an important indicator. But states can be compared not only by the number of people who live in it, but also by how densely they populate their territory. And here is a ranking that shows what place the largest countries in the world occupy in terms of density:
- Monaco. In this city-state, whose area is 2.02 km2, 37731 people live. And there are 18679 people per 1 square kilometer. This is the largest population density in the world.
- Singapore is in second place by a wide margin. The area of this city-state is 719 km2, and 5.3 million people live here, which gives a density 7389 people per km2. This is almost 2.5 times less than in Monaco.
- Third place is occupied by another city-state, with the smallest territory in the world. The Vatican accommodated 842 people on its 0.44 km2. And their density is 1914 people per km2.
- Bahrain is located here, on the territory of which more than 1.3 million people live and the density is 1753 people per km2.
- The population density of Malta is 1432 people per km2.
- Maldives, on these islands the population density is 1359 people per km2.
- Another Asian state is Bangladesh, the density is 1154 people per km2.
- Barbados, in this small state, the density is 663 people per km2.
- Republic of China, do not confuse this country with China, is a small island nation which is often referred to as Taiwan, has a density of 648 people per km2.
- And Mauritius closes the top ten - 635 people per km2.
First world countries
Many scientists divide states into several groups according to their level of development. And this division has already taken root in everyday life. The countries of the first world are those that have a high scientific and economic potential, a developed economy, as well as high quality of life citizens.
They have a downward trend. Also, many studies suggest that their population is “aging”. This means that fewer children are being born, and life expectancy is increasing, and therefore they increasing proportion of older people.
If we talk about the largest states in this category, then they include the USA, Japan, Germany, Great Britain, France, Italy, Spain, Canada. What place do they occupy in their own ranking, if we compare them with each other in terms of population?
Interesting! Of these, only the USA and Japan are in the TOP-10 largest in terms of numbers. Germany and the UK are in the top twenty, the rest are only among the fifty largest states by population.
And if the rest of the first world countries do not have a high place in the ranking in terms of the number of people living in the territory, then The US is markedly different., being in third place in the list of countries in terms of population. As we said, they are in third place. They achieved this position due to the fact that they have a large territory, and Mexico is located nearby, from where many migrants come.
Well, in general, the reputation of the United States as a territory of great opportunities has always made it attractive to various migrants. Therefore, the US is very polyethnic in composition. And in many large cities there are entire neighborhoods in which people from one region live, completely preserving their traditions, customs, culture, religion and language.
Number of Russia
We learned what place our country occupies in the list of the largest in terms of population. Russia, despite the downward trend in population, continues to be one of the largest on the world map. At the same time, the density of living is very low - only 8.56 people per 1 km2. According to this indicator, the Russian Federation is far beyond even the first hundred of the most densely populated territories. In comparison, for example, with Japan, our homeland is simply deserted, especially the regions in Siberia, the Far East and the Far North.
It is enough to imagine that the territory of Japan is approximately equal to the Amur region. At the same time, 126 million people live in it, and 809.8 thousand live in the Amur Region.
Interesting! Thus, Russia is characterized by an uneven distribution of living people, the main part lives in the central and southern parts, and all of Siberia and the Far East are practically uninhabited.
Residents are one of the main participants in social production. People work and produce, changing the environment, and also consume what they have produced. That's how the economy works. And in countries where the number of citizens is small or unevenly distributed, the economy will also develop unevenly. And this affects her overall standard of living.
But not always big. size is an advantage. For example, despite the fact that the population of India and China is very large, they cannot be called prosperous and prosperous.

Conclusion
The population density of the countries of the world does not coincide with the ranking of the largest states, you can be a small state, but very densely populated, such as Monaco.
Here are some interesting figures about the population of the world, we can give you. Such a study is very interesting, it allows you to compare and find out what place different regions of the planet occupy.
Largest countries by population- not just the personification of amazing human resources, we are talking about the unique places of our planet, combining many different cultures, worldviews and even languages. Imagine that over 2,000 different nationalities live on the territory of one state. Marvelous? What do you think, how many people can fit on one square meter of land? In countries like Pakistan, people are like subways. And in China, until recently, the birth of a second child in the family was fined and deprived of benefits. Let's look at even more interesting facts about the densely populated states of our planet.
10 largest countries in the world by population in 2017

Japan is the embodiment of a nanotechnological breakthrough, a combination of ancient traditions and unique customs in the person of one state. Opens the ranking with the largest population countries with an indicator of 127 million people. Not so long ago, Japan was next to Mexico in terms of the number of citizens. Now the population growth is growing rapidly. Speaking of interesting facts, it should be noted that quite cultured people live in Japan who really do not know how to swear.
Russia is an amazing power, admiring the diversity of the animal, plant world and social structure. On the territory of the Russian Federation live the most beautiful girls on the planet. It is one of the most powerful countries in terms of weapons.
Speaking about the most densely populated cities, the following settlements should be distinguished:
- St. Petersburg;
- Moscow;
- Nizhny Novgorod.
Despite the huge potential, unlimited opportunities for the development of various sectors of the economy as a whole, the birth rate in the Russian Federation is falling.
Bangladesh is a unique state that was previously part of Pakistan. Everything changed in 1971, when the country of 163 million people gained independence. Nowadays, citizens even have their own Bengali language. Unfortunately, despite the large population, the country is among the young and poor countries on our planet. Locals make money by collecting tea leaves, sugar cane and fish. Many citizens survive only thanks to the presence of the Bay of Bengal.
Nigeria is one of the largest countries in the world in terms of population and one of the most developed countries in Africa. About 187 million citizens live in Nigeria. The vast majority are young people. It is worth adding that the salary in the country is higher than in all other states of the continent. This fact is due to the presence of oil deposits. There are many talented people in the state. This is confirmed by the regular victories of Nigerians at the Olympic Games. You may be interested in seeing the best records in athletics. Nigeria also excels in the field of cinema and other creative industries.
Pakistan is a densely populated state that was formerly part of India. Currently, there are almost 193 million people here. Given the not too large territory in this place, most tourists will be crowded. However, Pakistan cannot be attributed to favorable places for recreation, not only because of the population density, but also for another reason. The fact is that the state borders on countries such as Afghanistan and Iran. At the same time, there is a strict order. You can't enter the country with your head uncovered. There are severe penalties for such an offense.
Brazil - noisy festivals, masquerades, passion and hot parties, is a unique country located in South America. At the same time, there are about 209 million carnival lovers in the state. And imagine that every year the number is rapidly increasing. And the locals speak more than 175 languages. It is worth saying that the country is developing quite quickly, due to the presence of various fossil resources. The country is divided into 26 states, which, in turn, are divided into districts. The most interesting in terms of entertainment is Rio de Janeiro.
Indonesia continues the ranking of the most populous countries with a population of 260 million people. For the most part, the inhabitants profess the Muslim religion. Therefore, before you decide to go to this state, you must definitely familiarize yourself with the customs and traditions of the locals. Otherwise, you should not count on a good relationship. There are big cities. For example, about ten million people live in Jakarta. Even in some rural settlements, there are colossal figures in terms of the number of citizens.
The United States of America is another giant, both in terms of size, numbers, and economic development. For the most part, the territory is inhabited by emigrants. Most of the people are in California and also in Texas. In total, there are 324 million people. The standard of living in America is really good. Not many people are concerned about finding money. Most Americans have a completely different mentality. People tend to find work for pleasure, not for a large fee.
The population of the globe is the total number of people living on Earth and continuously renewing their numbers through the process of reproduction. Today, the planet is inhabited by more than seven billion people.
According to the calculations of a statistician from the Netherlands (Center for Informatics and Mathematics), Peter Grunwald, during the course of the entire history of human development, equal to more than 162 thousand years, more than one hundred and seven and a half billion people were born on Earth. Based on his calculations, it can be assumed that approximately 6% of all people living on the planet before our time are equal to 6.7 billion people living today (2008 data). Grunwald also admits that in the 107.5 billion people born in all time on Earth, one cannot be completely sure, since practically nothing is known about the population and the percentage of births in antiquity. At the same time, the researcher considers it incorrect that some scientists claim that more people live on Earth at the present time than during the entire period of the formation of human history.
Based on estimates of the earth's agro-natural potential, the planet is able to feed more than 80 billion people, and historically the population could not exceed 100 million people. Before the Neolithic Revolution took place, the Earth could not support more than 3 million people. The UN has set an approximate population limit of 8 billion, at the moment of reaching which, the population of each country will begin to promote the maximum possible birth control, as well as fertility equal to two births per healthy woman.
Demographic projections
The most accurate forecast regarding the population was made by D. Huxley, a biologist from England. Based on his calculations, in 1964 he made a conclusion that states that the world's population will reach 6 billion by the year 2000. The UN Foundation announced that by 1999 the number of people living on Earth had reached 6 billion, and in 2011 - seven billion. The UN predicts a significant population decline from 2015 to 2050 for such countries: Russia, Germany, China, Poland, Romania, Thailand, Ukraine, Serbia, Japan, as well as for the countries of Western, Southeast and East Asia.
General growth trend
In the works of many scientists (H. Foerster, A.V. Korotaev, S.P. Kapitsa, M. Kremer) it is said that the increase in the earth's population over the past six thousand years followed the law of hyperbole, that is, the entire increase in human numbers was equal to proportional to its square. But, judging by the historical chronicle, the population of the planet throughout its history not only increased dramatically, but also became smaller, which was facilitated by destructive wars, long-term conflicts, the latest developments in technology and their development. For example, the population of the Middle East over the past 4,000 years has grown at a slow pace (slower than ten times, in general, on the planet).
By the beginning of the 1960s, the main rate of human growth began to slow down gradually, and another type of population increase appeared instead, the logistical one. The rate of natural increase in the number of people inhabiting the world, since 1989, began to decline, which is a consequence of a sharp jump in demographics.
The dynamics of the growth of the population of the entire globe in billions of people from 1000 to the 2000s of our era
At the beginning of our era, there were already 300 million people on the planet, by the end of the first millennium - 400 million, 500 million - 1500, one billion - 1820, 1.6 billion - 1900, three billion - 1960, 5.65 billion - 1993 . At the end of October 1999, the number of people inhabiting the globe reached 6 billion people, 6.3 - in 2003, 6.5 - in 2006, 6.8 - in 2010, at the beginning of November 2011 - 7 billion. In 2015, the population of the earth should be more than 7 billion people.
According to the UN forecast, the world population will be 8.1 billion by 2025, 9 billion by 2050, and 10 billion by 2100.
Until the seventies, the number of people inhabiting the Earth grew, according to the law of hyperbole, today the growth rate has noticeably decreased. According to demographic studies, the population is still growing rapidly, despite the fact that its growth has already become half as much as in 1963 (at which time the peak value of growth was reached).
Over the past 11 years (from 1994 to 2015), the number of elderly people has doubled, worldwide there are significantly more of them than children under the age of 5 (according to the latest data provided by the UN).
For the first time, during the formation of all human history, the number of people living in the city became equal to the number living in villages and villages, which amounted to 3.4 billion. It is also predicted that the largest part of the population living on the globe will be city dwellers, which is confirmed by the latest data.
By 2050, more of the world's population will live in Asia, ¼ in Africa, 8.2% in Latin America, 7.4% in Europe, 4.7% in North America.
The largest state in terms of population is China, but, guided by UN forecasts, India will also reach overpopulation by 2025. Until the beginning of 1991, the USSR occupied the third place in terms of population, after it collapsed, this place was taken by the United States (at the end of 2006, the population was equal to 300 million people), the fourth place was occupied by Indonesia, the fifth by Brazil, the sixth by Pakistan, seventh - Bangladesh, eighth - Nigeria, ninth - Russia.
According to CIA estimates, in mid-summer 2013, the number of people inhabiting the planet was 7,095,217,980.
The population of planet Earth in 2015
At the beginning of 2014, the UN Commission made a statement, which spoke of the achievement of the earth's population of 7.2 billion people, and in 2015 the population of the earth is planned to be about 7.3 - 7.4 billion people.

There was a time period that was included in the textbooks as the "Era of palace coups."
In a short period, many monarchs managed to rule Russia. Some managed successfully, and some did not. One of the representatives of the monarchs "" was Empress Anna Ioannovna. It is about her and will be discussed.
The reign of Anna Ioannovna Romanova lasted ten years, from 1730 to 1740. Many historians characterize the period of her reign as the time of "Bironism" - the alienation of everything Russian, and the dominance of foreigners in the ruling elite of Russian society.
Anna Ioannovna was the daughter of Ivan V Alekseevich. Ivan Alekseevich, let me remind you, was the brother of Peter I, with whom he jointly sat on the Russian throne for some time.
On January 28, 1693, Ivan V and his wife Praskovya Fedorovna, from the Saltykov family, had a daughter, Anna. Ivan V died in 1696. Since then, Anna, together with her mother and two sisters, lived in Izmailovo.
Anna Ioannovna received the most ordinary home education, without any frills. She studied dance, native and foreign languages, history. Her success in the study of sciences was very modest.
In October 1710, Peter I married his niece Anna to Duke Wilhelm of Gurlyansk. This dynastic marriage was concluded to secure the rights of the Russian state to use the Baltic ports.
The wedding festivities went on for two months with great glamor and brilliance. There was too much to drink and eat. During the celebrations, the duke caught a cold. And now it's time to go to Courland.
Ignoring health problems, Friedrich Wilhelm and his wife went to their homeland. But he could not reach his native land, he died not far from St. Petersburg.
At the insistence of Peter I, the widowed Anna still goes to live in Mitava. She was met herehostile, she constantly lived in need, complained to everyone about her fate. During the years spent in Courland, Annasettled on the favorites.
First, Bestuzhev walked among them. Later, Bestuzhev was recalled to Russia and Biron became the new favorite. Biron did not have a noble origin and that soon he would actually rule, the favorite could not have imagined.
So it would be like dragging Anna Ioannovna a miserable existence in Mitava, if not for the occasion. The emperor died unexpectedly and, during a period of dynastic crisis, she had a chance (Peter was young and had no heir), which she took advantage of.
Members of the Supreme Privy Council invited Anna Ioannovna to take the Russian throne, but at the same time she had to sign a paper limiting her powers. In fact, the members of the Supreme Privy Council wanted to create a limited monarchy in the Russian Empire.
Anna agreed, but soon broke all agreements, becoming a full-fledged Empress. In this, the empress was supported by the guards, as well as by the society itself, which for the most part advocated autocracy.
Having become the Russian empress, Anna Ioannovna was little involved in state affairs, due to her low education. All the affairs of the Russian Empire were conducted by ministers, over whom stood the "eye" of the all-powerful a.
Domestic policy of Anna Ioannovna
However, the main events that happened in the political life of the country during the reign of Anna Ionovna are worth listing. First of all, she abolished the Supreme Privy Council and created a cabinet of ministers.
The reign of the niece of Peter I was a real tragedy for ordinary peasants. She increased the tax burden on the peasant class, later the peasants lost the right to swear allegiance to the emperor, the next step was to ban the peasants from engaging in any commercial activity.
The apogee of the unfair policy towards the Russian peasantry was the decree of 1736, which allowed the landowners to trade in serfs, as well as to engage in lynching of the guilty.
Domestic politics during her reign was brutal. The field of activity of the Secret Chancellery has expanded to boundless boundaries. Any dissent in the Empire was severely punished. All sorts of vices of society flourished at the court. Drunkenness, denunciation, embezzlement…
Historians cite figures from the Russian budget. About 2 million rubles were spent on the maintenance of the court under Anna Ioannovna. rubles, and only 47 thousand for the activities of the Academy of Sciences. rubles.
Foreign policy of Anna Ioannovna
The foreign policy of Anna Ioannovna was much more successful than the domestic one. During her reign, the Russian Empire entered into a number of profitable trade relations with England, Spain, Persia, Sweden, and China.
It owes some success in foreign policy affairs, first of all, to Osterman, who developed the main foreign policy prerogatives of the Russian Empire.
Osterman concluded a military alliance with Austria, announced Russian interests in the Balkans and the Black Sea region, actively fought for influence on Germany and Poland.
During the reign of Anna Ioannovna, there was also a war with Turkey, which took place from 1735 to 1739. Russia in this war had some success, but the war became protracted and required a lot of expenses.
The situation escalated when our negligent allies the Austrians concluded a separate peace with Turkey, fearing the increase in Russian influence in the Balkans.
As a result, the shameful “Belgrade Peace” was concluded, according to which the Russian Empire refused to conquer in the Crimea and Bulgaria, and Russia was also forbidden to have a fleet on the Black and Azov Seas.
Anna Ioannovna died in October 1740. It was then the Russian Empress, niece of the Great Peter I, 47 years old.
Empress Anna Ioannovna of Russia was born on January 28, 1693 in the family of Ivan the Fifth Alekseevich and Praskovya Feodorovna Saltykova. Upbringing of little Anna until the age of seventeen was carried out by Peter the Great, who was her uncle. Already in the autumn of 1710, Peter marries her to Friedrich Wilhelm, Duke of Courland. However, soon her husband died and Anna was forced to stay in Courland herself on the instructions of Peter.
After the death of Peter II in 1730, Anna was invited to rule the Russian state. At the same time, the Privy Council that invited her severely limited her powers, which, of course, affected the early foreign and domestic policy of the empress. By signing the Conditions, she transferred actual power to the Privy Council. But in the same year, in February, Empress Anna Ioannovna broke the Conditions. Enlisting the support of the nobility and the guards, she was proclaimed an autocratic ruler throughout the state.
The domestic policy of the Empress begins with the abolition of the Privy Council and its subsequent replacement by the Cabinet of Ministers. Wanting to completely protect herself from conspiracies, Anna also establishes the Secret Office, or the Office of Secret Investigations, which is gaining strength every day.
In foreign policy, Anna Ioannovna fully adhered to the policy of her uncle Peter the Great, thanks to which Russia was able to significantly strengthen its own positions on the world stage. In addition, she conducted successful military campaigns. But it was not without major blunders. For example, the conclusion of the Belgrade peace.
During the reign of this empress, postal communication between large settlements was significantly improved, and the provinces acquired their own police. The situation with education has also been improved. One of the most important actions characterizing Anna's foreign and domestic policy was the strengthening of the power of the army and the Russian fleet, begun by Peter the Great.
With all of the above, historians note that the empress did very little in managing, entrusting the most important state issues to her advisers, most of whom were of German origin. The most famous of them was Biron, who interfered in many important state affairs for his own benefit.
Contemporaries also note that the empress spent a huge fortune on the maintenance of the court and entertainment.
