England is more than four times the area of the second most dense EU country (Belgium) and nevertheless has higher population density.
So the wording is imprecise but I don't think the comparison is unfair.
- jacquesm 11y agoNL is considerably more dense than Belgium and definitely not the most dense (that's Monaco).

- waqf 11y agoSorry, I omitted the qualifier ("major" in the original I was criticising) that was meant to exclude the tiny states which really are not a fair comparison (100 times smaller).
- IkmoIkmo 11y agoActually afaik the Netherlands is more population dense than Belgium (and has a population nearing 20m, instead of a little over 10m.) Beyond that, it's absolutely true, the UK tops the list as a country with more than 20m people. (besides Germany, about 10% less dense or so, other populous countries like France, Spain, Poland, Ukraine, are much less dense, sometimes less than half as much)
- waqf 11y agoRight, Belgium is the second most dense ["major"] EU country and NL is the first ... because as stated upthread, England isn't a country.
