Google can quickly tell you how many people reside in any given country.  All you have to do is know how to ask.  You can ask Google how many people live in a certain country by typing the following into a Google search box:

population of [insert country here]

It’s that easy.  For example, if you type in population of united states, Google tells you at the top of the search results that there are 301,139,947 people living in the USA as of July 2007.  It also lets you know that this is only an estimate.

You can also see how the USA stacks up to China:

It’s interesting to note that Chile has just over 1% of the population of China…

Just for fun, I tried typing in population of antarctica.  It worked!  Google estimates that there are about 1,000 people living in the southernmost continent in the world, however none of them are permanent.
