Whoa, what are they doing on the island of Java?!
Programming? Percolating?
Pretty much what they've always done on Java -- intensive farming with extraordinary population densities. Same for the Nile delta, which also jumps out on this map.
Look at Japan. You ever go to Japan, and you'll see why it's solid maroon. Think 10 people in a closet.
They've actually managed to maintain some country side, but it took some serious planning. Some cities of 40K have mini-skyscrapers that make you feel as if you're downtown in a major American city.
