    Population density map of the world.

Notes

  1. ↑ The De Agostini Atlas Calendar listed the area of Vatican City as 0.44 km2 (0.17 sq mi) in its 1930 edition[1] but corrected it to 0.49 km2 (0.19 sq mi) in its 1945–46 edition.[2] The figure of 0.44 km2 (0.17 sq mi) is still widely cited by many sources despite its inaccuracy.
    In 2019, the total population was 825, consisting of 453 residents and 372 nonresident citizens. For calculating the population density, only residents are considered.
  2. ↑ Kosovo is the subject of a territorial dispute between the Republic of Kosovo and the Republic of Serbia. The Republic of Kosovo unilaterally declared independence on 17 February 2008, but Serbia continues to claim it as part of its own sovereign territory. The two governments began to normalise relations in 2013, as part of the Brussels Agreement. Kosovo has received formal recognition as an independent state from 113 out of 193 United Nations member states.
  3. ↑ Not recognized by any UN member states
  4. ↑ Recognized only by Turkey
  5. ↑ Excludes Crimea.
  6. ↑ Recognized by only 6 UN member states
  7. ↑ File: "Población por región, sexo y edad simple, 1996-2025". Implied data: 3,003,671 in urban areas; 351,196 in smaller towns; 163,686 rural. Total 2019: 3,518,553
  8. ↑ Recognized by only 5 UN members states

  11. ↑ Administration is split between Morocco and the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic, both of which claim the entire territory.
  12. ↑ Excludes Crimea.
