How to read this number

A country’s total area: land plus inland water such as lakes and rivers. The values used here do not include sea areas such as territorial waters. Source: World Bank (underlying data from the FAO).

The World Bank series contains values for some countries that appear to include sea areas, so a few countries, including Canada, use figures from other sources instead (see the note at the bottom of the page). Measurement methods and update dates differ by country, so treat small differences as approximate.

  • Countries listed: 193 (of 193)
  • Data years: 2023–2024 (differs by country)
  • 183 countries use 2024 data

Data is available for 193 of 193 countries. The rest are not listed.

Source: Surface area (sq. km), indicator AG.SRF.TOTL.K2. Processed by this site. data.worldbank.org

Area: the World Bank series has values for a few countries (Canada, Croatia, Dominican Republic, France, Monaco, Norway, Sweden, United Arab Emirates) that seem to include sea areas, so this site uses figures for land plus inland water (lakes and rivers) from other sources for them. No year is shown for these values.
