No, metropolitan France is 66M, you're wrong from the get-go.
Also notice on your fake map the one odd country? One that's completely different from the others? Surely this has NOTHING to do with how said country still has colonies. No it couldn't be. Must be because, uh, they like the BBC, yeah, that's it! Guess what, as you said, once you properly calculate while differentiating metropolitan vs overseas France, you suddenly are close to other western European numbers. Which is exactly what is expected, even from a purely statistical point of view without taking the history of the country into account.
Jesus, critical thinking has reached zero around here. Fucking grim. Well not totally zero because you at least proved some critical thinking.
