No, it probably wouldn't. There are women in the Vatican, they are married, and given their religious beliefs they are likely to have an above-average number of children.

The Visit Vatican website states that nobody is born in Vatican City (citizenship is conferred by employment status, not birthplace). It also states that the female population of Vatican City is just 30, about 5% of the total population.

Japan is a rather big island country which makes commuting difficult (I think a lot of people immigrate into another country because of their work) and there are enough people on the employment-market, while Liechtenstein is a very small country where it may be necessary to fill certain jobs with foreigners when there are not enough people of the fitting profession. It lies in the center of Europe with quite a lot of people living in the surrounding area.

Japanese is pretty much only spoken in japan and I think foreign languages are much less spoken than in other countries, while in Liechtenstein, german is the official language, which is spoken in plenty of other countries around Liechtenstein.

Different ethnic groups does not mean different races, sometimes small cultural differences are enough to speak about an different ethnic group.

It's not that Sweden would seem to be very religious, but many of the mostly irreligious countries today are or were at one point socialist countries with a government that actively supressed religion or at least the church - China, Czechia, Cuba etc.

I'd be pretty surprised if Qatar didn't qualify for that one. That said, I think that the Japanese government casts its nets pretty widely in measuring metro areas, so this probably inflates the stat to begin with. (Still a little shocked that Okayama is supposed to have 2+ million people.)

No. The Vatican City isn't "in" Rome - a basic element of how a country is defined is that one country can't be "in" another country. The Vatican City is *surrounded* by Rome.

Equally, citizens of the Vatican City do not live "in" Rome.

Otherwise all questions where Monaco should be revised since, hey, those from Monaco actually live "in" France!

Very odd that. It's not just the ratio - Japan's nowhere near either end of that league table - it must be literally the number of women minus the number of men. So you need to think of a country with both a high population and more women than men.
