This is a list of the sovereign countries of the world sorted by total area. For statistical purposes, dependent territories are listed separately from their sovereign state and are set off in italics. The figures represent total areas, covering land and inland water bodies (lakes, reservoirs, rivers). Marine internal waters (coastal waters), territorial waters and Exclusive Economic Zones are not included.
Also not included in the list are uninhabited dependent territories – including various countries' claims to parts of the continent of Antarctica[1] (14.4 million km² total area) – and entities such as the European Union (4,324,782 km² total area) that have some degree of sovereignty but do not consider themselves to be sovereign countries or dependent territories.[2] The total land area of the world is 148,939,063 km²[citation needed] (about 29% of the Earth's surface area).
For a graphical version of this list, see List of countries by area (graphical). For lists including first-level administrative divisions, see List of political and geographic subdivisions by total area.
