The assumption stated is that we should imagine that we are part of the population of intelligent species and then imagine are we in a big country or a small country.... well the thing is if we say that the country is our species then that says things about homo saps. But we could just as well say that we are in the group of rapidly emerging soon to go extinct species, which would make us typical but with no species specific characteristic. Our biology, morphology and origin are probably irrelevant when characterizing us.
