POPULATION:
i) What’s the population of the country?
     The population in Bangladesh is 156,600,000, which is an extremely large number when you take into consideration the size of the country. It's population is a little less than half of the population of the United States (318,860,032). Imagine if half of the United States' population lived in the state of Iowa, which is roughly the same size as Bangladesh. That sounds crowded!

ii) Where do the people live in this country?  Rural areas mainly rural?  Urban areas? What are the
populations in the two cities you used for Question 2 b)?
     The majority of the population in Bangladesh lives in rural areas, however roughly 27% of the population lives in the big cities or urban areas. In the capitol city of Dhaka, the population is 7,001,000,and in the  large city of Chittagong the population is 4,009,423. These to cities alone count for roughly 7 of the 27% living in urban areas.

AGRICULTURE
i) What types of agriculture do they have and what type of diet do they have?
     Agriculture is a very important factor in the lifestyle of Bangladesh, and provides roughly 63% of the population with employment.  Agriculture is heavily dependent of the weather because of common flooding issues, and the overpopulation often keeps the farms fairly small.  Bangladesh has three main crops that are the main exports; rice, jute, and tea.
