Only figures we could check are included; things without a reliable number are left out. Continent lists leave out countries that lie in two continents or are counted either way (Russia, Turkey, Kazakhstan, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Armenia, Cyprus, Trinidad and Tobago). Morocco, Serbia, Israel, Yemen and the Gambia are not ranked because their area depends on which territories are counted. Last updated:
