Singapore

Answer: Although China has the largest population, it is not considered overpopulated because the land mass is so large.

If you consider overpopulation to be a measure of the difference between the number of people in a country and the number of people that countries land area and resources can sustainably support, then Singapore is only 0.3% self sufficient. (China is 44.2%)
