List of countries and dependencies by area

This is a list of the world’s countries and their dependent territories by total area and ranked by total area.

The total area is the sum of all land and inland water bodies (Lakes, Reservoirs, Rivers).

 

Entries in the 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 unrecognized states not in ISO 3166-1 are included in the list in ranked order. The areas of such largely unrecognized states are in most cases also included in the areas of the more widely recognized states that claim the same territory.

Not included in the list are individual country claims to parts of the continents of Antarctica or entities such as the European Union that have some degree of sovereignty but do not consider themselves to be sovereign countries or dependent territories.

 

The list provides the total area in square kilometers and square miles for all the countries of the world.

It is ordered alphabetically by the name of the country, dependency, or territory.

Below is a list of the world’s countries and their dependent territories by area.
