THE MOST OCCUPIED COUNTRIES IN THE WORLD

Added on: 27th Mar 2016

 

 

BANGLADESH

(158 MILLION)

Bangladesh

About the size of Kansas, Bangladesh has over ten million more

people than Russia. This makes it one of the most densely

populated countries in the world. Although it had a very high

birth rate in the 1960’s and 70’s (over 7) it has decreased

significantly since then (about 2.5 today).

 

 

NIGERIA

(183 MILLION)

Nigeria

Africa’s most populous nation has finally managed to free itself

from a long past of coups and political repression. Corruption and

terrorism are still significant obstacles to progress however.

 

 

PAKISTAN

(189 MILLION)

Pakistan

Carved out of India in 1947 to provide a home for Indian Muslims,

Pakistan has alternated between military and civilian rule since then.

Recently the war on terror and renewed tensions in Kashmir have

pushed the country to the brink of all-out war several times.

 

 

BRAZIL

(204 MILLION)

Brazil

Along with China, Russia, India, and South Africa it is one of the

world’s rising powers (BRICS nation). Although there is a wide

economic gap between rich and poor, the nation has done a

lot to address it in recent years.

 

 

INDONESIA

(255 MILLION)

Indonesia

With the world’s largest Muslim population and Southeast Asia’s

largest economy, Indonesia is a very ethnically and linguistically

diverse nation. In order to continue developing though, civil unrest,

extremism, and vast inequality are all issues that will need

to be addressed.

 

 

UNITED STATES

(320 MILLION)

United States

As the world’s foremost military and economic power, the

United States GDP accounts for roughly 1/4 of the world total

and its military spending is more than the rest of the world combined.

While being ethnically and culturally diverse, the US has the

largest rich-poor gap of any developed country. This is an issue

that will likely require much more attention in the coming future.

 

 

INDIA

(1.27 BILLION)

India

The world’s largest democracy emerged as a world power in the

1990’s. It is militarily strong, culturally influential, and has one

of the fastest growing economies in the world. Population wise

it is set to overtake China by 2028. In spite of all this its extreme

ethnic, cultural, and religious diversity along with the caste system

(technically outlawed) will provide significant challenges to growth.

 

 

CHINA

(1.37 BILLION)

most populous countries

The world’s most populous country is also the world’s fastest

growing economy. The fast rate of economic reform has not

been matched, however, with political progress. The Communist

Party still retains a monopoly of control. Corruption, pollution, and

vast disparities between urban and rural regions remain

a problem as well.
