Country Facts
Capital, population, area, density and currency for 48 countries — population labelled as the UN estimate it is, density calculated on the page, and a standalone page for every country.
How we got it
- Population density is the one figure here that is calculated rather than looked up: 5.8 million people ÷ 734 km² = 7,902 people per km².

Questions people also ask
Where do the population figures come from?
The UN World Population Prospects 2024 estimates, rounded to the nearest hundred thousand and labelled as estimates on every page. Populations move daily; a census count and a UN estimate for the same year can differ, and the page says which one it is using.
Why does South Africa's page say Pretoria?
Pretoria is the administrative capital. South Africa has three capitals — Cape Town (legislative) and Bloemfontein (judicial) are the others — and the country page notes all three rather than pretending there is one.
