Taiwan and The Netherlands are not even close to being the most densely populated countries in the world. Taiwan is 652/km² and Netherlands is 418/km². Compare that to Macau 20,286/km² or Singapore at 7,804/km².
But I agree that The Netherlands has a pretty big development community, and generally their English is fairly close to being native.
- hellofunk 7y agoThat’s interesting, I’ve never done the math myself but I’ve seen it mentioned in many places that those are the two most densely populated countries in the world. Maybe they are only looking at the density in urban areas and excluding agricultural areas?
- hellofunk 7y agoOh, I see now that the stats I frequently hear cited exclude small city-states, and have a smallish threshold of somewhere in the 10 to 20,000,000 range for the country population.
- dragonwriter 7y agoThey were probably excluding city-states like Singapore and Vatican City (Macau is probably excluded because it is neither in theory nor in function a country, but is a special administrative region of China.) Or setting a minimum size or population threshold that has a similar exclusive effect.
