Use this list from Wikipedia, and order by population density: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_sovereign_states_and_dependent_territories_by_population_density http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_sovereign_states_and_de... The Netherlands is at the 28th spot, behind countries such as South Korea, Singapore, and Macao. Then compare the densities of e.g. Singapore (7,023 per km^2) and The Netherlands (401 per km^2). Stating the facts makes it all seem far less dramatic, doesn't it?

"Stating the facts makes it all seem far less dramatic, doesn't it?" I don't believe that I have stated any fictions if that's what your last remark implies. I had a look at the wiki page you linked to. Most of those 27 countries ahead of the Netherlands are negligible in terms of size, vatican City, Guernsey, Monaco, St Martin? There are some sizeable countries but I don't believe being able to report a population density lower than, say, Bangladesh, is a cause for celebration. As for living in a country with a population density of over 7000 per sq km, it is not something to be aspired to.
