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 169 countries with data is 1.1% — shown for context, not a world average.
