Densley populated in comparison to France - maybe.
"Full", though? Really? I seem to be able to get out of my flat and wander around the country with ease. It doesn't strike me as "full", and in the countryside, not "densley populated", either.

I'm saying if you're anti-immigration (which is a bit silly, as immigration is a good thing that promotes competition and fuels culture) then you need to devise a method of stopping who can immigrate.
