[Map] European islands by population

14 comments

Edit: Almost complete list here.
- Interestingly this list isn't comprehensive either. It lists a few of the islands of Azores, of which there should be 9, and only "Madeira" although Madeira is both an island and an archipelago of several islands.
  
  Edit: the article actually admits the list is not complete.
- Thank you! I was just wondering about the Isle of Man
This is a bit outdated; Iceland’s population is over 350,000 as of a year or two ago
Old zealand
- No actually Old Zealand is the old Dutch province of Zeeland.
  
  Germanic-language countries with big Navies, naming a province "Sea Land". Tale as old as Europe.
Is Gran Canaria considered to be in Europe?
- Geologically it should belong to Africa. Politically, it belongs to Spain, thus is 'European'.
  
  In that case where are all the French overseas territories like La Réunion with a population of ~870k?
- The macaronesia islands have been formed by the African and Atlantic plates moving apart, leaving a trail of islands: Cape Verde, Canaries islanda, Madeira islands. They all sit on the African plate. But both the Canaries and Madeira are regions of their respective countries with European identidy and culture.
- At least a much as Britain
Idk about the rest but iceland is 400k
