That’s what the following map tries to imagine:
From the related article:
What if the world were rearranged so that the inhabitants of the country with the largest population would move to the country with the largest area? And the second-largest population would migrate to the second-largest country, and so on?
The result would be this disconcerting, disorienting map. In the world described by it, the differences in population density between countries would be less extreme than they are today.
The global population realignment would involve massive migrations, lead to a heap of painful demotions and triumphant promotions, and produce a few very weird new neighbourhoods.
Interestingly, the United States stay put, as do Brazil, Yemen and Ireland. Every other country moves around.
Italy ends up in the bottom half of Africa!!
