What has been or is the largest country ever in recorded world history?
In terms of population, China. It's been number 1 for more than two millennia except when it was divided and for the first few centuries AD when the Roman Empire may have surpassed it (the British Empire also briefly contained more people for a decade or so until 1947, but cannot be considered a country). And it's now more populous than ever before.
Which is the largest city in Britain?
With a population between 7,000,000 and 11,000,000 (depending on which measure is used), London is Britain's largest city by far.London is easily the largest city in the UK, particularly if including the area known as Greater London. London is approx 31 miles wide and has a population of 8 million people. This is not the same as the "City of London" which refers to a square mile within Greater London. You could argue that Greater London is not a city but a county, as it comprises many towns and two cities.In this case the largest city would be Birmingham which is approx 101 square miles with a population of 1,000,000.London - with a population of around 8 million.
Which US state has the biggest prison population?
CaliforniaCalifornia, thanks in part to three strikes and overzealous prosecutions. And ridiculous drug laws and a Parole Board who allows release of only a tiny fraction of the people before it. And that's including terminally ill inmates whose cost of care skyrockets. It's a political nightmare with no polititian wanting to fix it because they don't want to be viewed as 'soft on crime'. It actually depends on how you look at it. Yes, California and Texas have the largest prison populations, but that's because they have the largest state populations. If you take into consideration the amount of people imprisoned per capita, states like Alaska, Delaware, Louisiana, Mississippi and Oklahoma actually have the biggest prison populations. It's good to remember that in every state, less than 1% of their population is incarcerated (as of 2004).
