Examples of countries that are underpopulated and overpopulated relative to their size

By that do you mean Syrians and Iraqis, or do you also include fourth-generation Palestinians who have never stepped foot in Jericho or Ramallah?

Basically parts of all of these groups, it is obvious in Lebanon that there are over a million maybe even over two million who are not counted in normal population surveys (censuses are not done officially, iirc they are illegal). It is honestly kind of sad, like “La la la there is no demographic change,” it would disrupt the religious confessional government functioning too much to acknowledge their existence

So you like the fact that hardly anyone lives in the west of the country, except for Perth and the surrounding areas?

It's not a matter of like or dislike, the Western half of Australia is 90% (or some vast majority) desert or semi-desert, where nobody wants to live, and moreover can't sustain large populations. And if you increased the population tenfold they're overwhelmingly going to be crowded into the precious minority of green fertile land, and ruin it with overdevelopment.

Panama a bit overpopulated and and not attracting the best immigration
The worst thing is that despite the economic problems it continues to attract immigration from South and Central America.

Sounds like Turkey.

True. It’s a bit overpopulated.

From my NW European perspective, not especially.

It should be noted that, according to many estimates, India has just overtaken China to become the world's most populous nation - 1.41 billion people versus 1.4 billion people.

Nothing can stop the Pajeet Death of the Universe.

I was on Google Maps recently and playing a game where I tried to pick a random spot anywhere in India on Street View, that contained no people. I failed everytime. Practically any place you land is dirty and peopled. It's unbelievable.

People I know who have been to both India and Sub-Saharan Africa say that, in many ways, the former is worse than the latter, because in most of the latter there is a lot more room to breathe and it is actually less dirty.

Germany is a bit overpopulated for European standards. Also The Netherlands.

Netherlands certainly (it is almost on par with India in fact). Germany not that much.

It should be also noted that in area India is only slightly bigger than Argentina, yet has around thirty times as many people! (And is much smaller in area than Russia, China, Australia, Canada, USA or Brazil).
