Flanders vs. Norway

Flanders Today, my local, English-language weekly on life in Flanders, reports that population density in Flanders has reached 456 inhabitants per square kilometre. In Norway, on the other half, we're about 13. 13 inhabitants per square kilometre. On average. The reality is that... well, just look at the map and compare the two. For those ignorant souls out there, Flanders is the northern half of Belgium.


And for those of you who have a problem with scale, the total area of Belgium is 30.278 square kilometres, while Norway is a grand total of 307.442 square kilometres, or roughly ten times bigger.
