Even compared to its neighbors, its density is several times more. Crazy. Is it simply their fertile delta or is it secret Viagra distribution? :?:

Here is a map of Bangladesh beside the US. The US population is ~300 million. Bangladesh is ~150 million, with a population density 70X that of the US.

Is latex more expensive there? :?

in any case, A more fitting comparison would be with Britain, you guys arnt exactly known for dense population, unless compared to, say, Russia.

I just used a US map as I had one with a distance legend on it, but compared to the UK, its still shocking:

UK:
area:   244,820 km square
population:   59,834,300

~245 people per square km

Bangladesh:
area:   143,998 km
population: 141,822,000

~986 people per square km

Mind, Bangladeshis consume far fewer resources per capita compared to folks in the UK or Britain. It would be sheer insanity if they had an American level of consumption.

Considering they elected Bush *TWICE* I disagree with that :lol:

Quite weird really, although the fertility there must attract the masses, does it not get flooded like once a year causing people to completely relocate?

They are used to it now, although people still end up drowned every year.

maybe the more children you have, the more people there are to work and bring money into your home ?

Exactly,  they dont have any national pension scheme in Bangladesh so the only way you can hope to ensure you are looked after in later life is to have loads of kids and hope some of them will do it.
