There may be a textbook definition (X number of people per square mile) but here is mine: a country is over-populated when it can't feed itself. Japan may have reached that point; North Korea is there in that they have had periods of mass starvation reported; many African countries are due to drought and civil wars that have forced refugees to flee to neighboring countries.
The US is not over-populated in that we can feed ourselves and a good portion of the rest of the world. True, we import a lot of food but not as much as we export. Also, we tend to overeat.
