Final answer:

You need to divide the total population by the population density to obtain the area of the country. As the question does not provide actual numbers for population or density, we cannot perform this calculation.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question you have asked pertains to finding the area of the country based on its population density and the total population. Population density is defined as the number of individuals per unit area, which allows us to calculate the total area if we have both the population and the population density figures. This forms a two-step problem where one needs to divide the total population by the population density to obtain the area. However, since the exact numerical values of population and population density are not provided in the question, I am unable to perform the actual calculation. Normally, if the total population was, for instance, 20 million, and the population density was 1,000 people per square mile, the area of the country would be 20,000 square miles, calculated by dividing the population (20 million) by the population density (1,000 people per square mile).
