See also: List of countries by population in 2005 and List of countries by population in 1907 This is a list of sovereign states and other territories by population ,
using the most recently available official figures. Because such figures are not collected at the same time in every country, or with the same level of accuracy, the resulting rankings may be misleading.
The list includes all sovereign states and dependent territories recognized by the United Nations plus seven sovereign states that are not.
The
European Union is listed unranked for comparison. The
EU is not a country, but has many of the features of a
confederal 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.
