Very good answer, back in the 70's this would have been correct, but changes in administrative boundaries now makes Kiruna the second largest municipality in the world with its 29 551 sqkm. As a comparison Belgium is 30 000 sqkm. Kiruna has a population of 23 000, giving them 1.2 people per sqkm.
On hint: the largest is located in Australia.
