Bangladesh is the only proper country, rest are city states

Microstates should be excluded for the list to be more interesting

This isn’t a map. It’s a list.

Most of these “countries” have about the same area as a public school urinal

I feel like including the autonomous regions and city states, disproportionately paints this list – most don’t even make it to top 20 when compared to other world cities.
Tiny islands/archipelago like Maldives also don’t seem to fit well.
Bangladesh is the only interesting and impressive item on this list.
But I get it, it’s a tongue in cheek list that hinges on technicalities

Santa Cruz del Islote is an island off the coast of Colombia. It only has about 1200 people, but the island is tiny, so on paper, it has a population density of about 100,000 per km².

Monaco is *at least* 14x denser than Tokyo..shocking

Hong Kong has a large amount of green space as well. The parts where people actually live are very high density, much moreso than Monaco or Macau.
Kowloon is 47,500 people/sq km.

Macau and Hong Kong are special economic zones. Not countries.

Good, but it’d be better if you’d include the sizes of the countries too. Like macao is 22k/km², but how big is it?

i was in HK and macao last year. Went to HK one week and then straight to macau for three days. It was not during the holiday season. HK felt like 4 times more dense than macau
