This argument does not take into account the fact that the majority of Swedish population lives in cities. The Stockholm metro area has about 2M people out of 10M in Sweden. Then there’s Malmö and Göteborg..

Or if you turn it around, if Germany bought Siberia and their population density went down, would they see the an improvement in the situation?
