This table lists (per geographic area) the population, housing units, area 
in square miles (total, water, land), and population and housing density 
per square mile of land area.

I spent at least half an hour trying to find such a table, but failed 
(although Dan Minette will probably find one in less than two minutes 
<grin>). However, the information per country is readily available on-line.

My favourite source for such data is the CIA World Factbook 
(http://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/index.html). If you want to 
find information on the various European countries, visit 
http://www.worldatlas.com/webimage/countrys/eu.htm to find the names of all 
44 European countries and then look up the information in the CIA World 
Factbook.
