Notes

  1. ^ The European Union is a unique supranational union. It covers a total area of 4,324,782 km2 (1,669,808 sq mi),[1] and would be ranked 7th if it were included (3.0% of world's total land area).
  2. ^ The following countries have territorial claims in Antarctica: Argentina (969,000 km2 (374,000 sq mi)*), Australia (5,896,500 km2 (2,276,700 sq mi)*), Chile (1,250,000 km2 (480,000 sq mi)*), France (432,000 km2 (167,000 sq mi)*), New Zealand (450,000 km2 (170,000 sq mi)*), Norway (2,500,000 km2 (970,000 sq mi)*) and United Kingdom (1,395,000 km2 (539,000 sq mi)*), which to some extent overlap. The area from 90°W to 150°W (2,100,000 km2 (810,000 sq mi)*) is currently unclaimed territory. These areas usually have no human inhabitants, excluding scientists.
  3. ^

    The ranking for world's third largest country is disputed due to (1) conflicting information from different sources; and (2) differing methods on how land and water areas are calculated.

    The Encyclopædia Britannica lists China as world's third largest country (after Russia and Canada) with a total area of 9,572,900 km2 (3,696,100 sq mi).[4]

    Other figures: The figure given by the UN (9,596,961 km2 or 3,705,407 sq mi) excludes Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan.[5] It also excludes areas under China's control but is claimed by India (Trans-Karakoram Tract and Aksai Chin). It further excludes coastal and territorial waters. The CIA World Factbook lists China as (9,596,961 km2 or 3,705,407 sq mi), similar to the UN figure.[6]

    The water area for China includes only inland waters. The extent of China's coastal and territorial waters are currently unknown due to Territorial disputes in the South China Sea.

    See Territorial changes of the People's Republic of China for further information.
