Countries by area

This is a list of the countries of the world sorted by total area. The list ranks sovereign states, as well as self-governing dependent territories. Total areas are included, covering land and inland water bodies (lakes, reservoirs, rivers). Marine internal waters, territorial waters and Exclusive Economic Zones are not included, nor are various countries' claims to parts of Antarctica. For a graphical version of this list, see List of countries by area (graphical). For geographic entities other than countries, see List of major geographic bodies by area.

The European Union is listed unranked for comparison. The EU is not a country, but has many of the features of a confederated state such as a central administration, a parliament, a superior judiciary, a common market, a common currency (used by approximately 60% of its population) ^[1], EU citizenship and free settlement of its citizens across its territory.

Notes:

The Earth's total surface area is 510,065,284 km² — 70.8% of the world's surface (361,126,221 km²) is covered by water, while 29.2% (148,939,063 km²) is covered by land.
Territories listed and ranked as part of a sovereign state may be sparingly listed; they are set off in italics.
