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.
