List of countries and dependencies by population
This is a list of countries and dependencies by
population. It includes sovereign states, inhabited, dependent territories and
in some cases, constituent countries of sovereign states, with inclusion within
the list being primarily based on the ISO standard ISO 3166-1. For instance,
the United Kingdom is considered a single entity, while the constituent countries
of the Kingdom of the Netherlands are considered separately.
Countries
and dependencies by population
A numbered rank is assigned to the 193 member states of the United Nations, plus the two observer states to the United Nations General Assembly. Dependent territories and constituent countries that are parts of sovereign states are not assigned a numbered rank.
