Thank you, I appreciate your critic. Please don’t mix cause and effect. When there has been made ‘some research’ I’d expect research, which isn’t just taking numbers from Wikipedia and coming to a wrong conclusion. Well, coming from scientific background there is no reason to be falcultavive-emphatic on odd conclusions. The post wasn’t sarcastic it’s seriously asking the researcher to think before publishing, no more no less.

I just spent a week reviewing a survey which highlights how people feel unmotivated, unappreciated and dislike bickering. I really would have preferred a gentle correction rather than this kind of response (which reads rather snarky).

Europe
3,930,000 sq mi
population 731,000,000
181/sq mi

United States
3,794,101 sq mi
population 312,549,000
87.4/sq mi

It is interesting that the US is slightly larger than Europe, but holds under half the population.

In some cases states are larger than entire countries in Europe.

Texas — 2nd largest state
268,581 sq mi
population 25,145,561
96.3/sq mi

UK
94,060 sq mi
population 58,789,194
pop density 661.9/sq mi

While Texas almost three times larger than the United Kingdom it has less than half the population.

Contrast that with a more dense state

New York State
54,556 sq mi
population 19,378,102
408.7/sq mi

Still a lower population than Texas, but it is more condensed and more similar to the UK in density.

This leaves me supporting the idea, but concerned that we do so in a way that effectively addresses the issues of both geographic distance and population density.

Its a tough task the LoCo Council and Community Council have and I am positive that the elected Ubuntu Leaders will make the best decision possible.
