The entire population of the World could fit into Hertfordshire and a few surrounding counties, according to new geographical data.
According to a graphic released in the Independent, if everyone in the world stood together taking a metre squared each it would fit into an area of roughly 7,400km.
A map was mocked up for the US and showed that it wouldn’t even make a dent in the state of California.
As for the UK, it would take up a small portion of the home counties north of London.
Since you are here
Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.
Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.
Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
