Total Area, Size, Population Of Top Largest Countries Of The World. by Explorers(m): 8:18am On May 01, 2016
First we explore the ten largest countries, when 11.5 percent of all the land in the entire world is claimed by just one country, it’s not surprising to learn that the 10th largest country(Algeria) could fit into the largest(Russia) seven times over. When all 10 of the world's largest countries are taken together, they total 49% of the earth's entire 149 million square kilometres of land.

1. Russia.

*. Size: 17, 100, 000 square kilometres.

*. Population: 143.5 million (2013).

*. English Knowledge: 5%.


Russia’s 17.1 million square kilometres easily make it the world’s largest by area.

If Russia were to lop off 7 million square kilometers, it would still be the largest and the lopped-off section would rank seventh overall, Russia borders 14 different countries.

2. Canada.


*. Size: 9, 984, 000 square kilometers.

*. Population: 35.16 million (2013).

*. Knowledge of English: 85%.


Canada’s 9.984 million square kilometers make it the largest country in the western hemisphere, and its 202,080 kilometer coastline means that it has a longer shoreline than any other nation. With a population density of 4 people per square kilometer, this means that each of Canada's 35 million people could have 61 acres for themselves.

5. Brazil.

*. Size: 8.51 million square kilometers.

*. Population: 209, 274, 521(2016).

*. Knowledge of English: 5%.


The largest country in South America at over 8.51 million square kilometers, Brazil plays home to much of the world’s largest rainforest, the Amazon. The Amazon is so dense and vast that explorers and scientists have found human civilizations within small tribes that had never made contact with the outside world. Even still, these same experts believe there may be more undiscovered tribes living there unfound still. Brazil also has a lengthy Atlantic coastline on the eastern side, which stretches approximately 8,000 km. Most of its major cities, including Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo, were built along this coastline, detouring the thick Amazon jungle.

6. Australia.

*. Size: 7.69 million square kilometers.

*. Population: 23.13 million (2013).

*. Knowledge of English: 97%.


Australia, at around 7.69 million square kilometers is the largest country in Oceania by far. Technically it is so large that it doesn’t even qualify as an island, it is a continental landmass. The vast majority of its population live in coastal cities like Sydney in the east and Perth in the west, and with good reason, the Australian Outback is one of the world’s driest and hottest regions. Along with extreme climate and geography, Australia is known for its spectacular and often deadly wildlife.

7. India.

*. Size: 3.29 million square kilometers.

*. Population: 1.3 Billion.

*. Knowledge of English: 10%



India is the second largest nation in terms of population, and seventh largest in terms of area. India’s boundaries have changed quite a few times over the past century, and even still. China, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Nepal each share a border with India, and its geography ranges from the majestic Himalayan Mountains to the tropical shores of the southern peninsula. Geologically, India is found on it's own subcontinent, and geological studies show that this whole nation and it’s close neighbours were at one time separated from Asia by a sea.

8. Argentina.

*. Size: 2.78 million square kilometers.

*. Population: 41.45 million (2013)

* English: 6.52%

Argentina, the world’s 32nd most populous country, is the world’s eighth largest, and the largest Spanish-speaking nation in the world by area. Its 2.78 million square kilometers include some of the most varied geography and climate in the world. Swampy, tropical conditions in the very north give way to freezing glacial regions in the south. Patagonia, one of the most spectacular and dangerous places on the planet, stretches from the southern Andes in the west to the Atlantic Ocean in the east. The southern tip of Argentina, known as Cape Horn, is one of the stormiest locations on the globe.

9. Kazakhstan.

*. Size: 2.72 million square kilometers.

*. Population: 17.04 million (2013).

*. 15.4%.



Kazakhstan’s 2.72 million square kilometers stretch over vast plains and highlands. A cool and dry, but not quite desert-like, climate prevails for most of the year. Kazakhstanis experience a great range of temperatures throughout the year, though it doesn’t get as cold in Kazakhstan as it does in parts of its northern neighbor, Russia.

Formerly part of the USSR, the largest nation in the world for most of the 20th century, Kazakhstan’s current main claim to fame is its status as the largest landlocked country in the world.
