Well, if you want to get silly about it:
from wikipedia:
NZ pop = 4.2 million, so 9.5 sheep per person
Oz pop = 21.2 million, so 4.8 sheep per person
NZ land area = 268,680sq.km, so 149 sheep per sq.km
Oz land area = 7,741,220sq.km, so 13 sheep per sq.km
So NZ is double the sheep per person, and more than 10 times the sheep per sq.km
I think the joke is still on NZ :o) |
