Israel

home of Israeli people

part of Israel-Palestine conflict

Has 7.1M people in 10k sq-miles (which would put it at 45th largest US state in area, and 12th largest by population).

• despite visualizing the kibbutz, 92% (6.5M) live in Urban areas. Largest city is Jerusalem with 720k people. That would be roughly the 15th largest city in the US (if you counted only in-city population - if you looked at metro areas, Jerusalem would fall down to around 68. (I don't know whether the Jerusalem population number is within-city-limits, or counts a wider metro area.)
