More people live in that sand than live in Switzerland

[-] s_s@lemm.ee 3 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

The population of al-Mintaqah ash-Sharqīyah (eastern province) is 5 Million. Population density of 7.3/km^2

The population of Switzerland is 9 million. Population density of 207/km^2.

It's SAND, bro.

For a start, that's the bit that is roughly the same area as the Lahsa eyalet, not the interior. Riyadh province, which is in the middle bit, has eight and a half million people. Add in al-Qassim province which is also in that area and you have ten million.

But also, just generally... five million people is a lot of people. It's not like it's even a particular outlier in terms of density. The eastern province is more densely populated than Canada.
