Sorry bias from someone who's been living ~100m from the iron curtain. Russia's sort of close. But you're right, according to Wikipedia the ranking is (1) China — (2) India — (3) United States — (4) Indonesia — (5) Pakistan — (6) Brazil — (7) Nigeria — (8) Bangladesh — (9) Russia; the first 6 countries (of 241 countries and territories, i.e. 2%) give you 49% of the world's population; 14% of all countries and territories account for 80% of the population, so Pareto more or less.
- sam_goody 5y agoChina + India have well over a third of the world's population between them, the next seven largest countries combined (which includes Russia) roughly equal that of China.
