Well, the United States has

1910 - 92,228,496
1920 - 106,021,537
1930 - 123,202,624
1940 - 132,164,569
1950 - 151,325,798
1960 - 179,323,175
1970 - 203,302,031
1980 - 226,542,199
1990 - 248,709,873
2000 - 281,421,906
US Population Through History
From 1900 to 1950, the population doubled, in our developed nation. From 1950 to today, it more than doubled again, in our even more developed nation (current population is about 304,000,000).
