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 ''excludes'' the United States coastal and territorial waters.

Notably, Encyclopædia Britannica specifies the United States' area (excluding coastal and territorial waters) as 9,525,067 km<sup>2</sup>, which is less than either source's figure given for China's area.<ref name="United States"/> 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 km<sup>2</sup> and China is 9,596,961 km<sup>2</sup>. 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<ref name="31 Years of CIA World Factbook">{{Cite web|url=http://www.theodora.com/wfb/|title=31 Years of CIA World Factbook|publisher=CIA|access-date=31 January 2014}}</ref> against the information for United States in ''Encyclopædia Britannica'', particularly its footnote section.<ref name="United States">{{cite encyclopedia|url=https://www.britannica.com/place/United-States|title=United States|encyclopedia=Encyclopædia Britannica|access-date=2017-12-04}}</ref> 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 km<sup>2</sup>. However, in the 1997 edition, the U.S. added coastal waters to its total area (increasing it to 9,629,091 km<sup>2</sup>). And then again in 2007, U.S. added territorial water to its total area (increasing it to 9,833,517 km<sup>2</sup>). 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 km<sup>2</sup>, and a territorial water area of 195,213 km<sup>2</sup>, for a total of 304,575 km<sup>2</sup> 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.|name="3rd-largest"|group="Note"}}

This is a list of the world's countries and their [wikipedia:Dependent territories] by area, ranked by total area.

Map of Kerbin with countries.png

Entries in this list include, but are not limited to, those in the ISO 3166-1 standard, which includes sovereign states and dependent territories. More widely recognised states that claim the same territory; see the notes in the "notes" column for each country for clarification. Dependent territories and constituent countries that are parts of sovereign states are shown in italics. In addition, sovereign states with limited recognition are not assigned a number rank.

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.[1] Coastal internal waters (some small bays) may be included. Territorial waters are not included unless otherwise noted. Contiguous zones and exclusive economic zones are not included.

Data is taken from the Factbooks of nations, Discord questionaries' and official nation pages.

Countries and dependencies by area

Serrian dependencies and other states lacking sovereignty are not numbered in the following table, and their names are written in italic.
