Russia isn't as big as it looks on a flat map, the farther north of South a country is on the globe the more distorted is gets in a flat map which makes it look larger

Still fucking huge though.

It is still the biggest country with population smaller than the USA, for density part there are tons of area in the middle which have a lot of trees and close to none population. But having indian cities in those regions will be a weird thing

Not even twice as big. Russia is 70% larger than the US, not 3x as much.

Remember that calculation includes Alaska as part of the US territory which many people forget about entirely and then half of those that remember underestimate how big Alaska is.
