Countries/dependencies which each have the property that it is the most densely populated country among all countries/dependencies with its size and larger (i.e. there is no country/dependency both larger and more densely populated), in order of increasing size and decreasing density: Macau, Hong Kong, Bangladesh, Japan, India, Mainland China, United States, Russia. Considering independent countries only the first two entries in this list are replaced by Monaco and Singapore. Countries/dependencies which each have the property that it is the least densely populated country among all countries/dependencies with its size and larger (i.e. there is no country/dependency both larger and less densely populated), in order of increasing size and increasing density: Greenland, Australia, Canada, Russia. If Greenland is not counted as a country it is replaced in this list by Mongolia.
