Holland is the most densely
populated country in the world.
With an area of over 12 thou-
sand square miles, the country
has a population of more than
101'2 million. If the same pro-
portion existed in Canada, we
would have a population of
more than 322 million. The
name Holland, the Americana
says, is probably derived from
holtland, meaning woodland.
