Explanation:

underpopulated:You can name a lot, in the Americas, Argentina, Bolivia, Suriname and Canada. In Africa, Namibia, Mauritania, Botswana, Libya, Chad, etc. In Europe you have Russia. In Asia Kazakhstan and Mongolia. And of course in Oceania, you have Papua New and Australia.

But those examples only take into account population density. You can make the case for Australia, that most of the country is pretty difficult to populate (even though I still think it has plenty of room for more population), the same with Libya, Chad or Mauritania. Different from Argentina, which is pretty easy to populate, but is heavily underpopulated.

So taking account of those differences, I’ll say that Argentina, Namibia, Mongolia, Australia and Gabon are definitely underpopulated countries. And you can make the case for Papua New Guinea, Canada, Russia, Paraguay, Bolivia, Botswana and maybe Kazakhstan.

overpopulated:There is no one definition for ‘overpopulation’, but three common definitions come to mind: countries with a very high population density, countries with a high population density compared to arable land, and countries with a high population density compared to arable land when taking into account current and potential development trajectories.

According to the first and second definition, city-states or near-city-states are the most overpopulated by far: Singapore, Djibouti, Kuwait, Bahrain, Monaco and others. Other countries with high densities but little arable land include Japan, South Korea, UAE and others.

Taking into account development and future projections though, the picture starts to change. I would say that the most overpopulated countries with this nuanced view are Egypt and Bangladesh. These countries have insane population densities in corridors that have water, and are very reliant on agriculture. However, pollution, climate change and dam projects by nearby countries can make these countries collapse entirely, if they don’t manage themselves properly. This means extreme poverty, famine and disease.
