France has a density (pop/km²) of 122, similar density countries include Poland, Azerbaijan, Sierra Leone, Egypt (how are consistent are the rail systems across those countries?). US has a density of 37.

California specifically has a density of 94 (29% lower), which puts it near Spain, Timor-Leste, Moldova and Cuba.. California is doing OK for it's position.

People aren't uniformly distributed over entire areas, making such comparisons completely wrong and pointless.

> US has a density of 37.

Just LOL. No, the US does not consist of 300 million people evenly spread over that large of an area. Not even close.
