About the same population density as the US, also.

Guptastan now, more than ever. A 100km x 100km area is all we need, and with cheap solar getting more available day-by-day, a “desalination state” seems like the hot tip – work on a dry coastline where currently there are few or no people. We’d need a mandate from a host nation, but… well… the time will come. Sovereignty is the last great untapped natural resource, and it can more-or-less be exported.
