Other countries are not that relevant here. They tend to be more populous if they have better rail and motorway.
In any case I nominate the UK. Try to find a motorway from Reading to Birmingham (ie second busiest provincial station to first busiest.) You would either have to travel as far as Oxford on second rate A road or use M4 to join A34 (trunk road, more or less a motorway) to Oxford again...the long way round
Most of the main irish routes now ahve or soon will have paralell motorways.
