This map shows world population without any country boundaries

People cite population density for the strangest arguments.

India and China particularly attracted the attention of commenters on reddit, who noted that India is expected to surpass China's population by 2022.

Also noticeable was how vast and unpopulated Australia is on the map, and how surprisingly defined Madagascar is.
