“Note that Aberdeenshire is about 2500 SQ Miles, about the same size as the State of Delaware, but the population is only 250,000!!!”
hahah!
Hah!
“only”
That is funny.
My COUNTY is almost that big and has not much over 50k people. Yeah less than 25 per square mile. And that is a POPULOUS county for NV. The next county over has FIVE people per square mile. That county is almost TWICE the size of Delaware and has a little under 25k people.
We can drive for an hour on a state highway and see literally no other humans, no houses, no cars, nothing man-made larger than fence post or some distant power lines. Nothing but us and the road.
