Population divided by the land area of the country (excluding inland water bodies). Average density says little about actual settlement: in countries with vast deserts or tundra almost the whole population lives on a small part of the territory, so the average figure comes out an order of magnitude below the actual density of the settled areas.
Important: The aggregate is weighted by land area: it is the whole population of the group over its whole area. It cannot be an average of country densities — otherwise Monaco would weigh as much as Russia.

The area of a country excluding inland water bodies — the denominator for every land share.
Environment Surface areaThe full area of a country — land together with inland water bodies.
Demography PopulationResident population of every country as of mid-year — series from 1960 onward.
Demography Urban population shareWhat part of a country's residents lives in cities — the level of urbanization.
