By population · Order from fewest to most people.

1. The population of Tuvalu 11K

   Its highest point is about 4.6 meters above sea level — rising oceans threaten the whole country.

2. The population of San Marino 34K

   Claims to be the world's oldest republic, founded — by tradition — in the year 301.

3. Capacity of Rio de Janeiro's Maracanã stadium 78.8K

   For the 1950 World Cup final it crammed in roughly 200,000 — still the record football crowd.

   If each borough were its own city, four of them would still rank in the US top ten.

5. Greater Tokyo, the world's largest metro area 37M

   More people than all of Canada, in an area you can cross by train in two hours.

6. Every human alive at the height of the Roman Empire 300M
