List of countries by area
(Redirected from Land area)
This is a list of the world's countries and their territories by total, land and water area, ranked by total area.
The 10 largest countries occupy 25% of the world
Russia (12.5%)
Canada (7.5%)
United States (7.5%)
China (6.5%)
Brazil (6.0%)
Australia (5.0%)
India (2.0%)
Argentina (1.5%)
Kazakhstan (1.5%)
Algeria (1.0%)
Other (50%)
The entries in the list include, but those not limited to, those in the ISO 3166 standard of which includes all sovereign states, dependent territories and other territories. All 193 Members of the United Nations plus the 2 observer states are given a rank number. Largely unrecognized states not found in ISO 3166 are included in the ranking. The areas of such largely unrecognized states are in most cases also included in the areas of most widely recognized states as they claim the same territory. See the notes in the numbers for each country/territory for more clarification.
Not included in the list are the Pacific Plastic Island, which spans 1,800,000 km² or organizations such as the NATO.
The entry includes three subfields:
- Total area: Total area is the sum of all land and water areas delimited by international boundaries and/or coastlines.
- Land area: Land area is the aggregate of all surfaces delimited by international boundaries and/or coastlines, excluding inland water bodies (lakes, reservoirs, rivers)
- Water area: Water area is the sum of the surfaces of all inland water bodies, such as lakes, reservoirs, or rivers, as delimited by international boundaries and/or coastlines
For uniformity criteria, total area is taken from the United Nations Statistics Division unless otherwise noted. Land and water are taken from the CIA World Factbook unless otherwise noted. The CIA World Factbook is most often used when different UN departments disagree.[1] Other statistical services of other countries calculate themselves, of which will defer the table.
