Side by side

Population density

India is 3.2 times more densely populated than Czechia — 445 against 138 people per km². Density is where area and population interact, and it often reverses the impression the headline figures give — a large country with a small population can feel emptier than a small crowded one by an enormous margin.

Practical differences

• They drive on opposite sides — Czechia on the right, India on the left.
• Different currencies: the Czech koruna and the Indian rupee.
• Different continents — Europe and Asia.

Czechia

Landlocked and ringed by low mountains, so almost every river flows outward — the Elbe to the North Sea, the Oder to the Baltic, the Morava to the Black Sea. Czechia drinks more beer per head than any other country, and Pilsner Urquell in 1842 was the first pale lager.

India

The most populous country in the world since 2023. The Ganges-Brahmaputra system drains the southern Himalaya into the largest delta on Earth, and Mawsynram and Cherrapunji in Meghalaya are the wettest inhabited places on record, with roughly 11 m of rain a year. Mumbai is the largest individual municipality; the Delhi urban agglomeration, which contains the capital, is larger still at around 33 million.

Neutral facts only. Nothing here addresses politics, government, economics or which country is preferable in any respect — population is the one figure that dates, and it carries its year.
