Not OP, but I expected Japan to have about 40-50 million, about on par with California and South Korea. 130 million is huge.
The Tokyo metropolitan area alone has approximately the population of California. The population of Japan has pretty intense urban concentration.
Likewise. I was thinking that it’d be about a rich European nation. I was very surprised because Japan is tiny in area; it’s smaller than Montana.
Another fun population fact: there are about 250 million people in Indonesia.
Making it the largest Muslim country in the world.
(Before learning this fact, Indonesia wasn’t even on my radar when discussing Islam. It’s quite moderate, so it rarely makes the news.)
And the fourth largest country of any sort :)
India is the second biggest
I assumed around 60⁄70 based on ananlogy with the UK.
