આ '''[[ક્ષેત્રફળ]] પ્રમાણે [[વિશ્વ|વિશ્વના]] [[દેશ|દેશો]]''' ની યાદી છે.
For statistical purposes, [[dependent territories]] are listed separately from their sovereign state and are set off in italics. The figures represent total [[area]]s, covering land and inland [[water]] bodies (lakes, reservoirs, rivers). Marine internal waters (coastal waters), [[territorial waters]] and [[Exclusive Economic Zone]]s are not included.

Also not included in the list are uninhabited dependent territories – including various countries' claims to parts of the continent of [[Antarctica]]<ref>The following countries have territorial claims in Antarctica: [[Argentine Antarctica|Argentina]] (969,000 km²), [[Australian Antarctic Territory|Australia]] (6,120,000 km²), [[Antártica Chilena Province|Chile]] (1,250,000 km²), [[Adélie Land|France]] (432,000 km²), [[Ross Dependency|New Zealand]] (450,000 km²), [[Queen Maud Land|Norway]] (2,500,000 km²) and [[British Antarctic Territory|United Kingdom]] (1,395,000 km²), which to some extent overlap. The area from {{coor d Antarctic|90|W}} to {{coor d Antarctic|150|W}} (2,100,000 km²) is currently unclaimed territory. According to the [[Antarctic Treaty]], national claims are frozen, and thus [[Antarctica]] is not strictly considered official property of these countries, though they do hold territorial claims to parts of it. These areas usually have no human inhabitants, excluding scientists.</ref> (14.4 million km² total area) – and entities such as the [[European Union]] (4,324,782 km² total area) that have some degree of sovereignty but do not consider themselves to be sovereign countries or dependent territories.<ref>The [[European Union]] is a [[sui generis]] [[supranational union]]. It covers a total area of 4,324,782 km²{{fact|date=January 2009}} and would be ranked 7th if it were included (3.0% of world's total land area).</ref> The total land area of the world is 148,939,063 km²{{Fact|date=January 2009}} (about 29% of the Earth's surface area).
