Can one make Python constructors more concise?

My python code has a class from which instantiates objects representing countries. The class has a constructor.

class Country:
    def __init__(self, population, literacy, firms, area, populationDensity):
        self.population = population
        self.literacy = literacy
        self.firms = firms
        self.area = area
        self.populationDensity = populationDensity

Is there a way to make this code more concise? Here is the pseudocode for what I am seeking.

class Country:
    def __init__(self, population, literacy, firms, area, populationDensity):
        # assign object these properties in one line

Thank you.

You can do this in one line, but it will only make the code more difficult to read and follow. Here is how you would do it.

class Country:
    def __init__(self, population, literacy, firms, area, populationDensity):
        (self.population, self.literacy, self.firms, self.area, self.populationDensity) = (population, literacy, firms, area, populationDensity)
