True Size of Countries 2024

  • As defined by the CIA World Factbook, "land area is the aggregate of all surfaces delimited by international boundaries and/or coastlines, excluding inland water bodies (lakes, reservoirs, rivers). Water area is the sum of the surfaces of all inland water bodies, such as lakes, reservoirs, or rivers, as delimited by international boundaries and/or coastlines." Total area is the sum of land area and water area together.
  • Significant complication exists regarding the relative areas of the United States and China. Several major sources include coastal and territorial waterways when computing the area of the United States, but exclude coastal and territorial waterways when computing the area of China, as said data is unknown. China has a larger land area than the United States, but it is unclear which country would have a larger area if coastal and territorial waterways could be included.
