How we got the density
- Density is the one figure on this page that is calculated rather than looked up: population ÷ area.
- 101 million people = 101,000,000 people. Divided by 331,212 km²: 304.94 people per km², which rounds to 305.

305 × 331,212 km² ≈ 100,986,539 people — back to the population, apart from the rounding of the density to a whole number.
