List of Countries and Dependencies by Area - Wikip - 240514 - 225805

List of countries and
dependencies by
area
This is a list of the world's countries and their dependencies by land, water, and total area,
ranked by total area.
Dymaxion map of the world with the 30 largest countries

and territories by area
The 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 two 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[a] 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.
Total area is taken from the United Nations Statistics Division unless otherwise noted.[3] Land
and water are taken from the Food and Agriculture Organization unless otherwise noted.[4] The
CIA World Factbook is most often used when different UN departments disagree.[1] Other
sources and details for each entry may be specified in the relevant footnote.

Explanatory notes
a. The European Union is a unique

supranational union. It covers a total area
of 4,236,351 km2,[1] and would be ranked
7th if it were included (3.0% of world's total
land area).
b. The largest country in the world, which
spans two continents, and most of northern
Eurasia; with about 1/9th of the world's
total landmass. Russia's European portion
is roughly 4,000,000 km2, which is around
40% of the total landmass of Europe,
making Russia the largest country in
Europe; and its Asian portion, which covers
all of Northern Asia, is around 13,100,000
km2, making Russia the largest country in
Asia.
c. 98% of the land area is covered by ice and
snow. The following countries have
territorial claims in Antarctica: Argentina
(969,000 km2), Australia (5,896,500 km2),
Chile (1,250,000 km2), France (432,000
km2), New Zealand (450,000 km2), Norway
(including Peter I Island) (2,500,000 km2)
and United Kingdom (1,395,000 km2), which
to some extent overlap. The area from
90°W (https://geohack.toolforge.org/geoha
ck.php?pagename=List_of_countries_and_d
ependencies_by_area&params=60_0_S_90_
0_W_) to 150°W (https://geohack.toolforg
e.org/geohack.php?pagename=List_of_cou
ntries_and_dependencies_by_area&params
=60_0_S_150_0_W_) (2,100,000 km2) is
unclaimed territory. These areas normally
have no human inhabitants except
scientists.
d. Largest country completely in the Western
Hemisphere by total area (second-largest
by land area after the United States); with
the largest surface area of water; largest
contiguous country in North America. Total
area and water area figures include area
covered by freshwater only and do not
include internal waters (non-freshwater) of
about 1,600,000 km2, nor territorial waters
of 200,000 km2.[5][6]
e. The United Nations Statistics Division, the
CIA World Factbook, and the Encyclopædia
Britannica all rank the United States ahead
of China in total area. However, the figures
used by each source include coastal and
territorial waters for the United States but
exclude coastal and territorial waters for
China. China's coastal and territorial water
figures are unknown (no official
publication) and thus cannot be added into
China's total area figure. But Encyclopædia
Britannica specifies the United States' area
excluding coastal and territorial waters as
9,525,067 km2,[7] less than the figure given
for China's area by any of the three sources.
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.
f. Largest country entirely in Asia, and
second-largest country in the world by land
area. Excludes Taiwan, disputed territories
with India, and disputed islands in the
South China Sea. Figures for total area and
water area also exclude all coastal and
territorial waters.[1]
g. Figures are from the U.S. Census and
include "inland" water and "Great Lakes"
water, but exclude coastal and territorial
water.[8] NOAA cites the Great Lakes as an
example of internal water,[9] but the federal
government sometimes treats the Great
Lakes as "high seas".[10]
h. Data are from the CIA. Largest country in
South America, and largest country in the
Southern Hemisphere, even discounting its
territory north of the equator.
i. Data are from the CIA. Geoscience
Australia gives an official total of 7,668,287
km2.[11] Largest country in Oceania. Figures
exclude external territories.[12] and the
Australian Antarctic Territory (5,896,500
km2).
j. Includes disputed territories not under
Indian control but claimed by India.
k. Data are from the CIA. Largest Spanish-
speaking country and second-largest
country in South America. Excludes claims
on Argentine Antarctica (969,000 km2), on
Malvinas/Falkland Islands (12,173 km2)
and on South Georgia and the South
Sandwich Islands (3,903 km2).
l. Largest landlocked country.
Transcontinental country located in Asia
and Europe.
m. Largest country in Africa; also largest in the
Arab world and the Mediterranean Basin.
The area of internal waters is officially
reported as 0[13] even though several
seasonal lakes and permanent reservoirs
exist in the country.
n. Second-largest French-speaking country.
Largest country in Central and Sub-Saharan
Africa. Second-largest country in Africa, has
the largest French-speaking city (Kinshasa).
Data are from the CIA.
o. Comprising the total areas of Greenland,
the Faroes and mainland Denmark. Though
it is a sovereign state, it would be 12th.
p. Largest island in the world, largest territory
in the Kingdom of Denmark, and the largest
inhabited non-sovereign or overseas
territory in the world. A total of 1,755,636
km2 (81%) of the land area is covered by
ice; the ice-free area amounts to 410,450
km2. Data are from the CIA.
q. Data are from the CIA.
r. Transcontinental country located in Asia
and Oceania. Largest country in Southeast
Asia. Largest island country and
archipelagic state in the world by area and
population. Data are from the CIA.
s. Data are from the CIA[1] The UN lists a
figure of 1,628,750 km2, which refers to
land area only.
t. Largest landlocked country in Africa.
u. Excludes the Ilemi Triangle (14,000 km2).
v. Transcontinental country located in Asia
and Africa. Data are from the CIA.
w. Excludes claims in Guyana–Venezuela
territorial dispute (160,000 km2). Data are
from the CIA.
x. Data from the CIA[1] has been
supplemented with commonly-given figures
for disputed areas administered by
Pakistan: Azad Kashmir (13,297 km2) [14]
and Gilgit-Baltistan (72,971 km2),[15]
assumed to be land.
y. Data are from the CIA. Transcontinental
country located in Asia and Europe.
z. Excludes claims in Antarctica. Data are
from the CIA.
aa. Figure is from the CIA[1] and South Sudan's
official site.[16] The UN Statistics division
gives a figure of 658,841, while the UN FAO
gives a water area of 1,980 km2 and a land
area of only 631,930 km2. Academic
articles give varying totals between 619,000
km2[17] and 658,842 km2.[18]
ab. Figures include metropolitan France (in
Europe) as well as the five overseas
regions. This does not include New
Caledonia, the five autonomous overseas
collectivities, and the two uninhabited
territories (the French Southern Territories
and Clipperton Island). The Institut national
de la statistique et des études
économiques (National Institute for
Statistics and Economic Studies), gives an
area figure of 632,702 km2.[19] Largest
country in the European Union.
ac. Includes Somaliland.
ad. Data are from the CIA. Includes the
Russian-occupied territories of Ukraine.
ae. Data are from the CIA. The UN Statistics
department gives a figure of 591,958 km2
which may include part of Lake Victoria.
af. Metropolitan France (the part of France
located in Europe). Data are from the CIA.
ag. May not include territory ceded by Saudi
Arabia in the Jeddah Treaty due to the
Saudi–Yemen barrier.
ah. Data by the World Factbook.[20]
ai. Does not include the disputed Western
Sahara, shown separately. If the whole of
Western Sahara is included (which
Morocco controls approximately two-thirds
of), the area would be 710,800 km2 and the
rank would be #39.
aj. Data are from the CIA. The UN figure of
435,052 km2 excludes the three
autonomous provinces of Iraqi Kurdistan.
ak. Data are from the CIA. The Kingdom of
Norway, including Jan Mayen and Svalbard,
but excluding Bouvet Island and the
