Algeria ???
That is a mid-sized country, and most of its area is desert. It
certainly is
far off from being the most populous country on earth, if that's
supposed to
mean the largest number of people. Nor is it the most densely settled -
even
if you just count the habitable coastal regions.
It may be on the way to having the highest growth rate - don't know the
statistics here.
