Speaking of being misleading, are you saying that being equal 11th of nearly 200 such countries doesn't count as being 'one of the highest'?

Including all nations, it only drops to 17th - still in the top 10%.

Yes, I think that being in the top 5% is a requirement for being one of the highest. To be honest I would prefer to restrict "one of the highest" to the top 2.3%

Top 2.3% it is, then. However, the central theme of my point was that everyone (including ourselves) sees us as a rural nation, focusing on the outback, when we're actually a society of [sub]urbanites, despite the landmass.
