Nearly half of all people live in one of 6 countries.

The combined populations of China, India, the United States, Indonesia, Brazil, and Pakistan make up 49.8% of the entire world’s population. That means that there are nearly as many people living in just those 6 countries than in the 187 (or more) other sovereign states in the world. China and India are leading the world, with both countries making 36.62% percent of the world.
