Which country is most densely populated?

While the tiny country of Monaco (0.75 square miles or 2 km2) has the world's highest population density of 42,000 per square mile, it's merely the size of a small city, so it's not fair to consider it or other microstates when tabulating the place with the highest density. Thus, the non-microstate with the highest population density is Bangladesh, with a density of 2,200 people per square mile.
