Countries with the Lowest Population Density

How can so many people get Argentina?! I didn't even think of it.

Because it's huge?

Argentina was one of the first that I got. I simply know that there are less than 50 million people on 3 million km², that's a low density indeed...

Me too! But Suriname isnt' huge! Why it's on the list?

Guyana and Suriname aren't huge, but they have a very small population (less than a million) because they are mostly covered in rainforest.

Guyana is not as small as you think. Bigger than Belarus and Kyrgyzstan.

Because it's big and largely empty. Besides, I don't know about you, but when I think about stereotypical Argentine images I think of towering Andean peaks and wide open pampas and gauchos - not exactly imagery that makes you think 'crowded'. Patagonia is mostly just empty, wind-blasted treeless steppe.

Oman, this quiz was kinda difficult for me.

Belize me, I didn't do as well as I thought I would either.

My score was so bad it made me want to move to another country and change my Suriname

oman that's a terrible pun!

Kenya please stop? This pun chain Israel.

I Syria-sly doubt that.

OuCH! 'AD enough of this! Russian' around the place to escape. If I said I didn't find it funny Icelander you though.

I'm Ghana freak out at the next pun.

Why do you Botswana continue this chain.

There is Guyana girl chatting to one another

This chain is never Ghana end Mozam-beCARse there's too many countries Indi-a world, Niger.

This is starting Togo towards being the worst pun chain on Jetpunk.

You all Mauritania-ward for these amazing puns!

I've Benin some Laos-y threads on JetPunk, Tuvalu-minous to count, but this ano-Mali takes the cake. I think everyone a-Greece.

Stop this Chad-ing, it's getting Mali-gnant

Kuwait a minute, are you telling me this comment thread had been going 5 years without Finnish?

I’m Ghana make sure Togo to Mali and then I can say I’ve Benin West Africa. Maybe I shouldn’t, that is Tuvalu-minous. I may drive to Mali in my Van-uatu. I could go to a hotel in Romania, even though the bedsheets probably are covered in Greece and Mold-[all]-ova.

(This thread makes me feel pain, and not the good kind either.)

Seeing as how it wasn't in the answers, clearly not.

"Not counting external territories such as Greenland." It's on the caveat.

How did I NOT get Iceland? My favourite country!

I was guessing all these countries and I was surprised that belize is on here and so few people got it

Fricken Gabon and Belize

Belize must have just dropped off because it says the 5 points I earned on this today were new, and it's not on the list now.

Some quite obscure answers on here have reasonably high scores. I can only assume people read the comments before they try the quiz.

I got them all without cheating. I started with the answer I knew was #1. Then I guessed Iceland because I know they have a very low population and I remember seeing them on such lists before. Then I moved on to guessing countries that were very large with relatively low populations... mostly the frozen, jungle, or desert countries I referenced in a comment above. That took care of all the rest in the Americas, Asia, northern Europe, and the Sahara. And finally I turned to guessing random countries in Africa since I know that African countries by and large, though growing rapidly now, still don't have the population density of most more prosperous countries- that got me the last few stragglers.

According to Wikipedia Niger's density is 12.1. Also, the numbers in the answer stats and in the quiz itself don't match. :S

Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan are relatively small. Uzbekistan is fairly populous. Kazakhstan makes the list.

Uzbekistan rivals countries like Angola, Mozambique, Malaysia, Afghanistan, Iraq, etc. Uzbekistan is now the most popular “Stan” excluding Pakistan.

Missed Bolivia for some reason, got 23 though.

The only ones I missed are all african countries! I did get chad and congo.

Can't believe I forgot Canada.

if palestine was a country it would be here considering that all they have is desert

Actually Palestine is very densely populated, being almost entirely urban. The Gaza Strip in particular is one of the most densely populated places on the planet. https://www.jetpunk.com/user-quizzes/212340/20-most-densely-populated-countries-and-territories

Poor and war torn tho

oman we need to start the pun chain again

Got Suriname. Got Gabon. Got Turkmenistan. Got Congo. Got Mauritania. Got CAR. Forgot Russia. :.(

i feel like that greenland should count as part of denmark and not be left out totally.

I like how the first 5 are from 5 different continents.
