Um, you ever look into the size of Japan versus it's population ratio to the US? Tokyo is only twice as big as the giant city you're talking about, but the country itself is like 1/20th the size of the US.

So yea, DRC can easily be like that. Especially if they don't subscribe to 4-6 people living in a house thing that the US does.

Take a look at the neighboring Uganda. Most of the country is covered by cultivated fields, roads, villages. Sure, population density is higher but it's not even comparable with emptiness of DRC

Again, those are just assumptions you make without further understanding of a great number of things.

If you looked at US infrastructure and based the population we should have on how a developing nations population works, then you'd come up with a number like 750 million to a billion people... because 6 to 10 people live in a house, right? FYI, average US household is 2.5 people.

Simply put you cannot make any of your assumptions without more knowledge.

Correct, show your homework, as the teacher says.

Or I should say, it's hypocritical in an article about population numbers being fake to generate your own fake set of numbers and say it's better.

Especially when they're based on eyeballing it on Google Maps

Who would you better believe more - your favourite government or your own lying eyes?
