What countries have the strangest population distributions?

 Scandinavian countries:

They tend to have all their populations along coastlines.

It's even more pronounced in Greenland:

Greenland has only 50,000 people and one of the lowest population densities in the world.

Coastlines tend to offer more access to resources and favorable weather versus inland areas.

Australia:

Australia had almost nobody inland. The vast, vast majority avoid the harsh outback climates.

But there is a small city that has been built underground to deal with the climate:

It is called Coober Pedy.
