This is especially funny when I look at my home country Germany.

It's one of EU countries with the densest population, but it doesn't feel that way. Especially the east is very empty in the countryside.

This is very much a question of reference points, I'm sure even the Belgians will insist there are sparsely populated areas in their country :)

Scrolling around on a map of Germany, I could find a forest about 10 km across in the eastern bit that only looked to have a few roads marked on the map. Go into northern Sweden and you'll be drawing completely empty circles 50 km across...
