## Common questions

### What is the largest country by area?

Russia, at 17,098,242 km².

### What is the most populous country?

India, with about 1,463,865,525 people.

### Why do published country areas differ between sources?

Because they treat inland water, outlying islands and disputed territory differently. These pages use one source throughout so the ranking is internally consistent, rather than mixing figures that are not comparable.

### How current are the population figures?

Each carries its own year on the page. Population is the only figure here that dates — area, capital, currency, languages and calling codes change rarely or never.
