List of countries and dependencies by area

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jump to navigationJump to search

Dymaxion map of the world with the 30 largest countries and territories by total area according to the table
below, roughly to scale

This is a list of the world's countries and their dependent territories by area, ranked
by total area.
Entries in this list include, but are not limited to, those in the ISO 3166-1 standard,
which includes sovereign states and dependent territories. All 193 member states of
the United Nations plus the 2 observer states are given a rank number. Largely
unrecognised states not in ISO 3166-1 are included in the list in ranked order. The
areas of such largely unrecognised states are in most cases also included in the
areas of the more widely recognised states that claim the same territory; see the
notes in the "notes" column for each country for clarification.
Not included in the list are individual country claims to parts of the continent
of Antarctica or entities such as the European Union[Note 1] that have some degree of
sovereignty but do not consider themselves to be sovereign countries or dependent
territories.
This list includes three measurements of area:

 Total area: the sum of land and water areas

within international boundaries and coastlines.
 Land area: the aggregate of all land within
international boundaries and coastlines,
excluding water area.
 Water area: the sum of the surface areas of all
inland water bodies (lakes, reservoirs, and rivers)
within international boundaries and coastlines.
[2]
 Coastal internal waters may be
included. Territorial seas are not included unless
otherwise noted. Contiguous zones and exclusive
economic zones are not included.
Data is taken from the United Nations Statistics Division unless otherwise noted.[3]

Notes
1. ^ The European Union is a unique supranational union. It
covers a total area of 4,479,968 km2 (1,729,725 sq mi),
[1]
 and would be ranked 7th if it were included (3.0% of
world's total land area).
2. ^ The following countries have territorial claims in
Antarctica: Argentina(969,000 km2 or
374,000 sq mi), Australia (5,896,500 km2 or
2,276,700 sq mi), Chile (1,250,000 km2 or
480,000 sq mi), France (432,000 km2 or
167,000 sq mi), New Zealand (450,000 km2 or
170,000 sq mi), Norway(including Peter I Island)
(2,500,000 km2 or 970,000 sq mi) and United
Kingdom(1,395,000 km2 or 539,000 sq mi), which to some
extent overlap. The area
from 90°W to 150°W (2,100,000 km2 or 810,000 sq mi) is
currently unclaimed territory. These areas usually have no
human inhabitants, excluding scientists.
3. ^ Smaller than China and United States in land area.
4. ^ Jump up to:    The following two primary sources (non-
a b

mirrored) represent the range (min./max.) of estimates of

China's and the United States' total areas. Both sources
(1) exclude Taiwan from the area of China;
(2) exclude China's coastal and territorial waters.
However, the CIA World Factbook includes the United
States coastal and territorial waters, while Encyclopædia
Britannica excludesthe United States coastal and
territorial waters.
1. The Encyclopædia Britannica lists China
as world's third-largest country
(after Russia and Canada) with a total
area of 9,572,900 km2,[10] and the United
States as fourth-largest at 9,525,067
km2.[11]
2. The CIA World Factbook lists China as
fourth-largest country (after Russia,
Canada and the United States) with a
total area of 9,596,960 km2,[12] and the
United States as the third-largest at
9,833,517 km2.[13]
Notably, Encyclopædia Britannica specifies the United
States' area (excluding coastal and territorial waters) as
9,525,067 km2, which is less than either source's figure
given for China's area.[11] Therefore, while it can be
determined that China has a larger area excluding coastal
and territorial waters, it is unclear which country has a
larger area including coastal and territorial waters.
 United Nations Statistics Division's figure for the United
States is 9,833,517 km2and China is 9,596,961 km2.
These closely match the CIA World Factbook figures and
similarly include coastal and territorial waters for the
United States, but exclude coastal and territorial waters
for China.

Further explanation of disputed ranking: The dispute for

world's third-largest country arose from the inclusion of
coastal and territorial waters for the United States. This
discrepancy was deduced from comparing the CIA World
Factbook and its previous iterations[14] against the
information for United States in Encyclopædia Britannica,
particularly its footnote section.[11] In sum, according to
older versions of the CIA World Factbook (from 1982 to
1996), the U.S. was listed as the world's fourth-largest
country (after Russia, Canada, and China) with a total
area of 9,372,610 km2. However, in the 1997 edition, the
U.S. added coastal waters to its total area (increasing it to
9,629,091 km2). And then again in 2007, U.S. added
territorial water to its total area (increasing it to 9,833,517
km2). During this time, China's total area remained
unchanged. In other words, no coastal or territorial water
area was added to China's total area figure. The United
States has a coastal water area of 109,362 km2, and a
territorial water area of 195,213 km2, for a total of 304,575
km2 of additional water space. This is larger than entire
countries like Italy, New Zealand, and the United
Kingdom. Adding this figure to the U.S. will boost it over
China in ranking since China's coastal and territorial water
figures are currently unknown (no official publication) and
thus cannot be added into China's total area figure.

5. ^ A significant portion of Brazil extends into the Northern

Hemisphere, so it is not entirely in the Southern
Hemisphere. Also, the U.S. has American Samoa in the
Southern Hemisphere, so Brazil is not the first entry on
this list to have territory in the Southern Hemisphere.
6. ^ Figures exclude the external territories of Norfolk
Island, Ashmore and Cartier Islands, Christmas
Island, Cocos (Keeling) Islands, Coral Sea Islands
Territory, and Heard Island and McDonald Islands,[16] each
shown separately. Excludes the claim of the Australian
Antarctic Territory (5,896,500 km2 or 2,276,700 sq mi).
The UN's previous data,[17] as well as the current data
shown by the World Bank and the CIA,[1][18] give the figure
as 7,741,220 km2(2,988,900 sq mi).
7. ^ The total area given is from Encyclopædia
Britannica and includes disputed territories not under
Indian control but claimed by India. The total area claimed
by India, according to the figure given by the United
Nations and the Indian government, totals
3,287,263 km2 (1,269,219 sq mi).[19]
8. ^ Excludes claims on Argentine
Antarctica (969,000 km2 or 374,000 sq mi),
on Malvinas/Falkland Islands (12,173 km2 or 4,700 sq mi)
and on South Georgia and the South Sandwich
Islands (3,903 km2 or 1,507 sq mi).
9. ^ The area of internal waters is officially reported as
0[21] even though several seasonal lakes and
permanent reservoirs exist in the country.
10. ^ A total of 1,755,636 km2 (677,855 sq mi) (81%) of the
land area is covered by ice; the ice-free area amounts to
410,450 km2 (158,480 sq mi).[18]
11. ^ Jump up to:a b The water area percentage of Sudan prior to
the secession of South Sudanwas 5.18.
12. ^ The area given is from the 2007 data and the CIA World
Factbook.[1][17] The UN Demographic Yearbook lists a
figure of 1,628,750 km2 (628,860 sq mi), which refers to
land area only.
13. ^ Excluding the Ilemi Triangle (14,000 km2 or
5,400 sq mi).
14. ^ Excludes claims on Guayana Esequiba (160,000 km2 or
62,000 sq mi)
15. ^ By default, internationally sourced and published
statistics include data for the Pakistani-administered
territories of Kashmir: Azad Kashmir (13,297 km2 or
5,134 sq mi) and Gilgit-Baltistan (72,971 km2 or
28,174 sq mi) in this area value.[24] Further
including Pakistani claims over the Indian-administered
territories of Jammu and Kashmir (42,241 km2 or
16,309 sq mi) and Ladakh(59,146 km2 or 22,836 sq mi)
would produce a total land area figure of 984,010
km2 (379,928 sq mi), and a total area figure of 1,009,230
km2 (389,666 sq mi) for the country. Excluding all of these
territories in the disputed Kashmir region (including
Pakistani-administered territories) would produce a land
area figure of 796,355 km2 (307,473 sq mi) and a total
area figure of 821,575 km2 (317,212 sq mi). The total area
figure is equal to Pakistan's land area added to its water
area of 25,220 km2 (9,740 sq mi).
16. ^ Excludes claims in Antarctica.
17. ^ Jump up to:              Figures shown in this entry are taken

551,500 km2 (212,900 sq mi) and lists overseas regions
separately, whose areas sum to
89,179 km2(34,432 sq mi). Adding these give the total
shown here for the entire French Republic. The CIA
reports the total as 643,801 km2 (248,573 sq mi).
[1]
 Another source, the French Institut national de la
statistique et des études économiques(National Institute
for Statistics and Economic Studies), gives an area figure
of 632,759 km2 (244,310 sq mi).[26] (The CIA gives a water
area of metropolitan France as 1,530 km2 (590 sq mi).)

21. ^ If the whole of Western Sahara is included (which
Morocco controls approximately two-thirds of), the area
would be 710,800 km2 (274,460 sq mi) and the rank would
be #39.
22. ^ Figure shown is from the 2007 data and the CIA World
Factbook.[1][17] The UN figure of
435,244 km2 (168,049 sq mi) excludes the three
autonomous provinces of Iraqi Kurdistan.

26. ^ May or may not include the Galápagos
Islands (7,880 km2 or 3,040 sq mi). The 2007 data,[17] as
well as the current data given by the CIA, explicitly
includes the Galápagos and gives the figure as
283,561 km2 (109,484 sq mi).[1]
27. ^ The total area figure is that reported by the National
Institute of Statistics and Demography of Burkina Faso
(INSD).[31] The water area is that reported by the Food and
