If Size Were People, the UK Beats Canada. Wait for Singapore.

If every country were as big as its people, the UK would be bigger than Canada, and Singapore bigger than Mongolia. Only Russia survives: 145 million people against Japan's 124 million. UK 69.1M people vs Canada 39.7M: Canada has 41× the land and shrinks to 0.57 of the UK. Russia 144.8M vs Japan 123.8M: Russia has 45× the land and stays 1.17 Japans big. South Korea 51.7M vs Australia 26.7M: Australia has 77× the land and shrinks to half of South Korea. Singapore 5.8M vs Mongolia 3.5M: Mongolia has 2,130× the land and shrinks to 0.6 of Singapore. Populations: UN World Population Prospects 2024 (mid-2024). Each pair is drawn on an equal-area map, so every size on screen is true. The big country's land is shrunk to the area its people would fill at the small country's density (its people ÷ the small country's people × the small country's land), checked on the drawn map. The drawn land is within 2% of the official areas. Maps: Natural Earth; Singapore's outline: geoBoundaries (URA 2016); imagery: NASA Blue Marble. What would your country look like if size were people?
