^ Largest إنجلترا- and largest فرنسا-speaking country; largest country completely in the نصف الأرض الغربي by total area (second-largest by land area after the الولايات المتحدة); with the largest surface area of water; largest contiguous country in North America; Total area and water area figures include area covered by freshwater only and do not include internal waters (non-freshwater) of about 1,600,000 كم2, nor territorial waters of 200,000 كم2.[2][3]
^ The United Nations Statistics Division, the CIA World Factbook, and the الموسوعة البريطانية all rank the United States ahead of China in total area. However, the figures used by each source include coastal and territorial waters for the United States but exclude coastal and territorial waters for China. China's coastal and territorial water figures are unknown (no official publication) and thus cannot be added into China's total area figure. But Encyclopædia Britannica specifies the United States' area excluding coastal and territorial waters as 9,525,067 كم2,[4] less than the figure given for China's area by any of the three sources. Therefore, while it can be determined that China has a larger area excluding coastal and territorial waters, it is unclear which country has a larger area including coastal and territorial waters.
^ Largest English-speaking country by land area and largest country in the نصف الأرض الغربي by land area (second-largest by total area after كندا). Figures for total area and water area include all coastal and territorial waters.
^ Data are from the CIA.[5] Largest country in أمريكا الجنوبية, and largest country in the نصف الأرض الجنوبي, even discounting its territory north of the equator.
^ Second-largest country entirely in آسيا and largest country in جنوب آسيا. The total area given is from الموسوعة البريطانية and includes disputed territories not under Indian control but claimed by India. The total area claimed by India, according to the figure given by the United Nations and the Indian government, totals 3,287,263 كم2.[7]
^ Largest جزيرة in the world, largest territory in the Kingdom of Denmark, and the largest inhabited non-sovereign territory in the world. A total of 1,755,636 كم2 (81%) of the land area is covered by جليد؛ the ice-free area amounts to 410,450 كم2.
^ Second-largest Spanish-speaking country by area after الأرجنتين؛ largest Spanish-speaking country by number of speakers.
^ Third-largest country in إفريقيا and third-largest in the Arab world; before 2011, it was the largest country in Africa as well as the largest in the Arab world.[5]
^ By default, internationally sourced and published statistics include data for the Pakistani-administered territories of كشمير: آزاد كشمير (13,297 كم2) and غلغت-بلتستان (72,971 كم2) in this area value.[10] Further including Pakistani claims over the Indian-administered territories of Jammu and Kashmir (42,241 كم2) and لداخ (59,146 كم2) would produce a total land area figure of 984,010 كم2, and a total area figure of 1,009,230 كم2 for the country. Excluding all of these territories in the disputed Kashmir region (including Pakistani-administered territories) would produce a land area figure of 796,355 كم2 and a total area figure of 821,575 كم2. The total area figure is equal to Pakistan's land area added to its water area of 25,220 كم2.
^ Transcontinental country located in آسيا and أوروبا.
^ Figures include فرنسا متروبوليتان (in Europe) as well as the five overseas regions. This does not include كاليدونيا الجديدة (an autonomous sui generis collectivity), the five autonomous جماعية فرنسية في الخارج[لغات أخرى], and the two uninhabited territories (the French Southern Territories and جزيرة كليبرتون) which are listed individually, although also part of the French Republic. Source gives area of فرنسا متروبوليتان as 551,500 كم2 and lists overseas regions separately, whose areas sum to 89,179 كم2. Adding these give the total shown here for the entire French Republic. The CIA reports the total as 643,801 كم2. Another source, the French المعهد الوطني للإحصاء والدراسات الاقتصادية (National Institute for Statistics and Economic Studies), gives an area figure of 632,759 كم2.[11] (The CIA gives a water area of metropolitan France as 1,530 كم2.) Third-largest country in Europe after Russia and Ukraine, and the largest country in the European Union.
^ Does not include the disputed الصحراء الغربية, shown separately. If the whole of Western Sahara is included (which Morocco controls approximately two-thirds of), the area would be 710,800 كم2 and the rank would be #39.

^ Between 1945 and 1949, the Republic of China included بر الصين الرئيسي، منغوليا, Taiwan, and other areas, totaling 1,1418,174 كم2, which also the total constitutional land area of the Republic of China. The figure shown is from the 2012 Statistical Data from the Ministry of the Interior[لغات أخرى], Republic of China. The CIA gives a total area of 35,980 كم2.[22]
^ The figure shown includes the area of ترانسنيستريا (4,163 كم2), which is حكم الأمر الواقع independent from Moldova.
