This dimension groups countries by how many people live within their borders. World population itself passed a striking milestone recently, since it "was estimated by the United Nations to have exceeded 8 billion (8,000,000,000) on November 15, 2022," and every country's own population is a share of that total. Browsing by population band separates the most populous countries from the least.
