Japan is a tricky one, are you 100% sure that more people live in the southern part than in the northern part?
Because if you check the longitude and latitude, Japan has islands which lie beside Taiwan, meaning that the country extends far more to the south than this might seem in a map at first sight. So the Tokyo agglomeration and some other urban areas would for example be a part of the north.
I think it makes a lot more sense to count the north/south border by surface area rather than furthest extent. Otherwise we get countries like Ecuador where 97% of the country would be considered "the east" due to the Galapagos islands. Besides, Tohoku and Hokkaido are so sparsely populated that, even if you include the greater Tokyo area with them, there are still more people living in the south of Japan.
The division is by equal area though. The islands in the far south are very small. Hokkaido + Tohoku + Niigata prefecture already gave you half of the total area.
How do more people guess Egypt correctly than Canada?
I mean. It's quite obvious that the Nile Delta is in the north and that is where more people live... But who tf guesses that the 50k people in Canada's north outnumber the population centers around Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal? It's literally tundra.
Looking on the map I found that Taiwan, despite it's strip of big cities at the west coast still is denser populated in the north.
Regarding Japan, I'm still not sure. Although the main islands are denser populated in the sout, Japan has a lot of small islands pretty far to the south.
If you divide it between northernmost an southernmost point, I think more people live in the northern part.
I would actually say, the highest population density is pretty much in the middle between north and south.
Then again, I also thought Abu Dhabi would've been in the south of the country

I got 8/15 because of that
