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 total area according to the table below, roughly to scale.

أكبر 10 بلدان يحتلون نحو نصف أراضي العالم.

  روسيا (11%)
  الصين (6.3%)
  الولايات المتحدة (6.1%)

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[Note 2] 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]

Explanatory notes

  1. ^ أ ب With its surface area including all or parts of 17 of the world's 40 largest freshwater lakes, Canada is smaller than China and the United States in land area.
  2. ^ The European Union is a unique supranational union. It covers a total area of 4,236,351 km2 (1,635,664 sq mi),[1] and would be ranked 7th if it were included (3.0% of world's total land area).
  3. ^ 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.
  4. ^ 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 currently unknown (no official publication) and thus cannot be added into China's total area figure. But notably, Encyclopædia Britannica specifies the United States' area excluding coastal and territorial waters as 9,525,067 square kilometres (3,677,649 sq mi),[6] 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.
  5. ^ Approx. 7% of Brazil's land is located in the Northern Hemisphere. Its Southern Hemisphere portion (approx. 7,920,000 km2) is still significantly bigger than Australia. Although the U.S. has American Samoa, Jarvis Island, and a small portion of its territorial sea south of Baker Island in the Southern Hemisphere, it is not generally regarded as a Southern Hemisphere country.
  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,[9] 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,[10] as well as the current data shown by the World Bank and the CIA,[1][11] 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).[12]
  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[14] 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).[11]
  11. ^ أ ب The water area percentage of Sudan prior to the secession of South Sudan was 5.18.
  12. ^ The area given is from the 2007 data and the CIA World Factbook.[1][10] 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.[17] 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. ^ أ ب ت ث ج ح Figures shown in this entry are taken from the CIA.[1]
  18. ^ Source gives area of metropolitan France as 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).[19] (The CIA gives a water area of metropolitan France as 1,530 km2 (590 sq mi).)
  19. ^ All figures are those cited by the Food and Agriculture Organization.[20]
  20. ^ All figures are those cited by the International Atomic Energy Agency.[21]
  21. ^ All figures are cited by the Statistics Sweden (SCB) with data from 1 January 2022.[22]
  22. ^ 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.
  23. ^ Figure shown is from the 2007 data and the CIA World Factbook.[1][10] The UN figure of 435,244 km2 (168,049 sq mi) excludes the three autonomous provinces of Iraqi Kurdistan.
  24. ^ أ ب Figures shown are from the CIA World Factbook; the UN data refers to mainland area only. All figures exclude Bouvet Island (49 km2 or 19 sq mi), Jan Mayen (377 km2 or 146 sq mi), and Svalbard (62,045 km2 or 23,956 sq mi), shown separately, and the Antarctic territorial claims of Peter I Island (154 km2 or 59 sq mi) and Queen Maud Land (2,700,000 km2 or 1,000,000 sq mi).
  25. ^ Figure shown is from the 2020 (Reiwa 2) Geospatial Information Authority of Japan.[23][24]
  26. ^ Includes Åland (1,552 km2 or 599 sq mi).
  27. ^ May or may not include the Galápagos Islands (7,880 km2 or 3,040 sq mi). The 2007 data,[10] 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]
  28. ^ The total area figure is that reported by the National Institute of Statistics and Demography of Burkina Faso (INSD).[25] The water area is that reported by the Food and Agriculture Organization[26] and the land area is taken to be the difference between these two figures.
  29. ^ The government gives the total figure as 266,838 square kilometres (103,027 sq mi).[27] CIA World Factbook has total/land area of 267,710 km2 (103,360 sq mi). All figures exclude the Cook Islands, Niue, and Tokelau, shown separately, as well as the Antarctic claim of Ross Dependency.
  30. ^ Does not include the three Crown Dependencies (768 km2 or 297 sq mi) or the 14 British Overseas Territories (1,742,857 km2 or 672,921 sq mi), each shown separately.
  31. ^ Includes the parts of the Golan Heights (1,295 km2 or 500 sq mi) occupied by Israel.
  32. ^ Somaliland is claimed in whole by Somalia, and has no international recognition
  33. ^ Area according to Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics is 147,570 km2 or 56,980 sq mi.[28]
  34. ^ The Government of Nepal gives its area as 147,516 square kilometres (56,956 sq mi), which includes an additional 335 square kilometers of disputed territory under Indian administration.[29]
  35. ^ Benin's official total area increased from 112,622 km2 (43,484 sq mi) to 114,763 km2 (44,310 sq mi) following the resolution of the Lete Island dispute in 2005.[30] The water area is that reported by the Food and Agriculture Organization[31] and the land area is the difference between these two figures, rounded to the nearest square kilometre.
  36. ^ The figure shown includes the area of Kosovo and Metohija 10,887 km2 or 4,203 sq mi). The area of Serbia without Kosovo is 77,474 km2 (29,913 sq mi).[1]
