In Denmark we have a system (CPR, central person register) where everyone has a uniqe number...
my number is 040281XXXX where the X'es is the part I'm not supposed to give out 'course it would allow anyone to impersonate me :-)

I have always wondered: when you don't have that kind of system how do you know how many people actually live in the US?
