Be nice to see this number in percentage of population.

  China has 1,298,847,624 [google.com] and USA has 293,027,571 [google.com]
  
  So China has about 4% and USA has 18%.

    And 18% is nothing to brag about, really. At least, not when compared to other countries. [yahoo.com]

      18% isn't bad considering the logistics. The US is nearly 100x larger in area than South Korea...
      
      South Korea - http://www.eia.doe.gov/emeu/cabs/skorea.html [doe.gov]
      Population 48m
      Area 38k sq. miles (about the size of Indiana or Kentucky)
      
      US - http://www.enchantedlearning.com/usa/states/area.s html [enchantedlearning.com]
      Population 293m
      Area 3.5m sq. miles (2.9m continental)
      
      I wonder what the percentage would be if we only accounted for metro areas like Seattle, New York, LA... while I'm sure it's nowhere near 73%, I bet it's well above 18%.

        Surely, someone as educated as yourself must have something rather more important to do than picking nits about my (lack of) capitalization of the abbreviation of million...
