    Some of these figures are slightly misleading - for instance, the figures here are for total (i.e. land + water), not land area. Since no one lives on open water, the population density for Alaska (over 20 % of which is water in its total area) is slightly higher, when water area is subtracted.

You'd say this is pointless but it moves Canada and the US ahread of China in size ranking whereas they would fall behind China if no water was included

    Also there is only 2 roads that go into it, and one of them is a winter ice road. To get in you used to have to go on a dirt road which turned into mud in summer and you could be stuck for days, but it is mostly complete now when construction started in 2010. Also i should mention that there is more roads into Sakha than 2, but only 2 lead to the rest of Russia, but from Sakha you can drive on ice roads to Anadyr or the North Coast.
