#2 According to Factbook, before this repatriation Bangladesh had 2,758 people per square mile, 13 times the density of Burma, all packed into a country that is just 22% of the size of Burma - slightly smaller than Iowa. That's like half of the US population crammed into something like Iowa.

Where they fish and they fuss and they thresh,
And each day, those that died
Float away on the tide
To refresh the sweet smell of secesh!
