I'm not comparing the UK with others. I am looking at the UK.
It is not small.


I am looking at the UK too. It is small.

It holds 60 million people and can easy hold 30 million more.

You could probably fit 60 million people on the Isle of Wight (with
not much "personal" space).

It's an often mentioned piece of trivia but you could fit the entire
population of the world on the Isle of Wight if they were to all
stand up shoulder to shoulder. I'd like to see it proved

About 6.3B people on 135 square miles - so they would each get about
0.6 square feet to stand in.

Maybe it only works when the tides's out, or the tall people stand in the
sea.
