which gives a better idea of the concentration. And some things I'd never known about - it shows the huge population around Chengdu and Chongqing, in the Sichuan Basin in China, far inland. (Chongqing municipality - area about 32,000 sq miles - about South Carolina; population 32 million - more than Texas, giving a population density about the same as Rhode Island).

Or the south-west coast of the Mediterranean: the coastal regions of Morocco and Algeria are more densely populated than Spain or France to the north of them. Each country has about twice the population I would have guessed.
