Take example: America: vast flat lands with superior farming techs, high quantities of oil, rich minerals. But medium-high population density, leads to less money per capital, but reinforced by superior technology. Thus, highier financial gap in society but average is still high.

Actually, Europe is MUCH more densely populated than the United States. Germany and UK have densities of over 600/sq. mi., while the U.S. has a density of 74/sq. mi. (2001 World Almanac). There is lots of empty space in Alaska and the mountain states that is barely settled.
