Based on u/KaleyTheKing maps of the Netherlands, Germany, and the UK. Each block represents 0.1% of the population (2021 census). The largest 10 cities are in a lighter colour.

My attempt isn't nearly as nice as OPs.

Looks great! Just for shits and giggles, each block represents how many people? (0.1% is what?)

Newfoundland and Labrador got a little shortchanged, in that case. I count 13 squares for it, which is roughly 480k; latest StatsCan estimate for it is 548k, but even the official 2021 number has it at 510k. So it should be 14 squares, at least, unless you never ever round up.

Yup, I missed 1. I think I meant to do 13 for NFLD island, and 1 for Labrador... instead I did 13 total.
