Question

why is population very important in a country

Answer 1

Well, there may be a more specific answer from the point of view of, say, Urban Planning or even sociology, but, in general, I’d have to say that because there can be no country without a population significant enough to produce the ideological materials needed to form a country that population would be very important. Countries are not the geography that is fought for and won. They are the ideology that motivates one to fight for the geography. Countries do not exist outside of our human conception of them. This is what puzzled the indigenous people of North America when Europeans began encroaching. They could understand fighting over geography that provided sustenance for their people but to fight over it just so you could name it your own made no sense whatsoever. For indigenous people “territory” was fluid, you fought for and held geography only until it was more useful to make other plans. To fight for geography in the belief that it would then belong to the winner indefinitely, again, made no sense - who could possibly own (as in control) the land? The concept of geographical territory is ancient. The idea that humans can draw lines on the land and then believe that it signifies possession (as in MY country) is fairly recent in human history
