>>Is this the same world where everyone on it could be put in an area the size of France and still have a population density less than that of Mexico City?<<
That would be the case — but Texas is a better example (numbers rounded):
People in the world: 7 billion
Texas square miles: 270
People per square mile: 24,390
Feet per square mile: 27,878,400
Square Feet per person: 1200
So the entire population of the earth could fit in Texas with about 1200 square feet per person. If you group up families there is more than enough room.
In one state.
Except I don't want all the bastards here. ;)
I know those numbers, but chose France on purpose.
