Land covers 196.9 million square miles of the planet, which is broken up into 196 countries that are home to 7.125 billion people.
With so much land available on Earth you would think people are spread out evenly throughout the world - but a stunning new map reveals that isn't the case.
An entrepreneur used data from Nasa to understand where most of the world's population resides and found half of us are crammed into just one percent of the world.

90% of libtards live inside the yellow nuclear target zones. They are the real one percenters and they cause 90% of our problems.

A nice splash from a moderate size asteroid in the South Pacific would reduce the global population real good.

I loved driving around Nevada. My wife and I drove “The Loneliest Road in America” from north of Reno to Ely. Lots of open spaces there!

Yet libs claim we need to reduce the population because Earth is over taxed.

Hey, who let that map out? How can we possibly convince everyone about overpopulation and “sustainability” so we can implement our totalitarian state worldwide?

The people who claim the US is overpopulated also want unrestricted immigration.

And UN Agenda 21 wants to cram the rest of them in there too, at lease the ones they don’t eliminate.

I used to fly from St. Louis to Seattle for business and from 30K feet during daylight it was nearly impossible to see evidence that the planet was inhabited at all. Just the occasional railroad or Interstate highway.

Yet libs claim we need to reduce the population because Earth is over taxed. From their perspective in the cities it's an entirely reasonable conclusion. The city heat island effect causing much higher temperatures makes even a belief in human caused global warming a reasonable conclusion. Hopefully self-driving cars will allow libtards to experience the other 99% of the country.

I drove The Loneliest Road in October, you really get a sense of the vastness of the West. I even exceeded the speed limit by, ahem, 1 mph.

This methodology is not valid everywhere.
E.g., here we have a night-time satellite photo of Korea in the center with China to the west and Japan to the east. The population of South Korea is 50 million. That of North Korea (outlined in white) is 25 million.
