Ordered by value, highest first (ties break by country slug). Countries without data for this metric are not listed — they occupy no rank.

Surface area is computed from Natural Earth 1:110m boundaries with an equal-area spherical formula — not the World Bank's land-area figure; population density is our own derived metric (latest population ÷ that area).

The unweighted median across the 163 countries with data is 40.2% — shown for context, not a world average.
